Description:
I have Found out this is an Army Model not a Cavalry Model. The mid-1800s were a time in American history that gave birth to a number of innovative firearm designs, and 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. This is an accurate Navy Arms Company / F.LL Pietta, Italian made, reproduction of the Army Model LeMat, which has .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. 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 duplicate those found on originals. The loading lever is mounted on the left side. It does not appear to have ever been shot. A few very light scratches & handling marks. SHIPPING IS $35 Ships direct. No FFL required Sold to close out an estate as is No Returns.
