This
truly unique, unusual sidearm was also known as the "Grape Shot Revolver." Developed in New Orleans in 1856 by Dr. Jean LeMat and backed by Pierre G.T. Beauregard, who was to become a general with the Confederacy. Roughly 2,900 were produced. This is an accurate Navy Arms Company / F.LL Pietta, Italian made, reproduction of the First Model LeMat, Cavalry Model which has a nine-shot, .44-caliber cylinder and rifled 6-3/4" barrel. What sets it apart from other revolver designs is the 20-gauge, .65 inch diameter 5-7/8" smoothbore barrel, originally intended for firing buckshot. Both are fired by a pivoting striker on the hammer. In combat, the firepower from the pistol barrel, plus a hefty dose of "blue whistlers", made the LeMat a fearsome weapon to face. Accurate details like the swivel lanyard ring and trigger guard spur duplicate those found on originals. The loading lever is mounted on the left side.
