CIVIL WAR Antique US STARR Model 1863 ARMY Single Action .44 Cal. Revolver
U.S. INSPECTED with U.S. Cavalry HOLSTER
Here we present an antique Starr Arms Co. Model 1863 Army Single Action Revolver, made circa 1864 in New York City with a production run between 1863 and 1865. Requiring all manners of firearms during the Civil War, the U.S. 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.
This gun was either brought home by a coming home soldier or sold on the surplus market by the U.S. government 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 a true survivor, remaining in its original .44 percussion state.
This example has a visible inspector cartouches on each side along with the initials/names: “A.G Jan---”, “USC”, “J.L.D.”, and “EAC”.
The overall condition is good+. Nice dark patina. The action is excellent with good timing and lockup. The bottom cylinder stop is absent allowing the cylinder to revolve when the hammer is not in the cocked position. The bore is patinated with worn rifling. The grip is solid and full of initials. Numbers match. The holster is a post-Civil War cavalry holster that is for a left-handed draw. It fits the gun well and long ago had the protective flap removed.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
