Description:
This is a very Rare and very Fine Martially Inspected Civil War Joslyn Army Model 44 Percussion Revolver
Only about 3,000 Army Model revolvers were manufactured in 1861 and 1862 by the Joslyn Firearms Company in Stonington, Connecticut. The Joslyn is one of the scarcest of all the revolvers used by the Union Army and Navy, with this example being one of only 100 in total purchased by the U.S. Navy and delivered in October 1861 and marked with a naval anchor underneath the barrel. 1,100 Joslyns were purchased on the open market and primarily issued to Ohio units including the 5th and 6th Ohio Cavalry. Dovetailed blade front sight, a sighting groove in the top strap. "B.F. JOSLYN/PATD, MAY 4TH 1858." on top of the barrel at the breech. Matching serial number on the bottom of the barrel and the back of each grip. Matching assembly number "25" is found on most of the components including the cylinder, loading lever and hammer. Single letter inspector marks on various parts. Boxed script "JT" (John Taylor) cartouche on the right side grip panel. Condition is Very Fine, retaining 40% original flaking blue finish overall, strongest on the non wear surfaces, with mottled smooth brown patina and some light handling marks. Grips are also fine with some light dents and scratches, wear on the bottom corners of the left side grip panel, and a nice visible cartouche. Mechanically excellent. One of the nicest original examples left of the 100 Navy delivered Joslyn Revolvers. Buyer pays $20.00 shipping to lower 48 states. I accept USPS Money Orders or Bank Cashier's Check. Will accept Personal Check, with shipping hold. 3% Credit Card Fee! Three day, non-firing, non-disassembly, inspection period. If returned, for any reason, full refund, less shipping. Layaway Available! One third down, balance on or before end of 90 days. Other reasonable options considered. ANTIQUE!
