Description:
Starr Arms Antique Revolver
  • .44 Percussion caliber
  • 6" barrel
  • Double action
  • These revolvers were used in the western theater of the American Civil War until the United States Army Ordnance Department persuaded the Starr Arms Co. to create a single-action variant after discontinuation of the Colt
  • The Starr DA .44 cylinder holds in each chamber 33 grains (2.1 g) of powder, the bullet weighs 138 grains (8.9 g)
  • These were made between 1862-1863 with a total of 23000 produced
  • A very unique design of the trigger system, rather than a simple trigger pull or hammer manipulation, the Starr employed two controls, a forward “firing-lever” (which today we would see as a trigger) and back-mounted “trigger” which really was more like a sear
  • Starr Arms Co., New York frame address
  • Patent date Jan 15. 1858
  • Wood grips
  • Finish is a plum patina
  • Serial number 1231XX
