44 S&W CONVERSION of CIVIL WAR STARR Model 1863 SINGLE ACTION ARMY Revolver
Terrific Old Six-Shooter with Tons of History!
Here we present an antique Starr Arms Co. Single Action Model 1863 Army Revolver, made circa 1864 in New York City. Requiring all manners of firearms during the Civil War, the US government commissioned the Starr Arms Company to produce a Single Action version of its Double Action revolver. Both versions were taken on by the North with roughly 47,454 total produced. These saw the most use in the Western Campaign with three sub-variants of the base design, with those being the Double Action Navy of 1858 in .36 caliber, the Double Action Army of 1858 in .44 caliber, and the Single Action Army of 1863 in .44 caliber. Production numbers reached 3,000, 21,454, and 23,000 respectfully. Starr revolvers were one of the top handguns found on Civil War battlefields.
Many such revolvers have continued histories after the war. Single letter inspector marks are found all over. This gun was likely sold on the surplus market after the war. Various conversions were performed on old percussion revolvers as a matter of practicality, and taken all over the United States, including out West. This one is one of those that was converted to the very handy and capable .44 Russian centerfire cartridge!
The overall condition is very good. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with nice rifling. The finish is maturing to a dark gray patina. Here is a handsome Starr 1863 Army that saw use long after the war that would find a nice place in a Civil War or Wild West collection!
