The gun fired a self-contained metallic pinfire cartridge. During the Civil War, this was the only non-percussion revolver issued by the Union and one of the foreign handguns purchased (12,000 total); this gun was Used mainly by Union troops in the Western theater. Many fell into the hands of Trans-Mississippi Confederates. It was apparently not well-liked by either. Overall, the gun is in Very Good condition and a nice example.
