CONFEDERATE CIVIL WAR KERR REVOLVER
Description:
For your consideration, here is a London Armoury Company Kerr revolver, imported by the Confederacy during the Civil War.
The London Armoury Company Kerr’s Patent Revolver is one of the most distinctive and recognizable of all Civil War era handguns. The side mounted hammer and removable side plate were not common features in large bore handguns of the era and result is a unique silhouette.
The Kerr patent revolver was invented by James Kerr, who was awarded two patents for improvements to Roberts Adams earlier revolver design. The first pistol was completed in March of 1859 and was tested at the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield Lock on April 25, 1859. The pistol was typical of large bore English percussion handguns of the era, in that it the standard offering was 54-Bore (about .442 caliber) and had a 5-shot cylinder.
The Kerr also featured a unique, frame mounted cylinder arbor that was removed from the rear of the pistol (much like on the Colt side hammer, aka “Root” designs), instead of the more common location at the front of the cylinder. This made the pistol easier and safer to manipulate when the cylinder had to be removed from the pistol.
With the outbreak of the American Civil War, Caleb Huse (the South’s primary purchasing agent in England) engaged the London Armory Company to produce all of the Kerr’s Patent revolvers that they could for delivery to the Confederacy. It is believed that nearly all of the L.A.C.’s output of Kerr revolvers from April of 1861 through the close of the Civil War were produced on contract for the Confederacy, with about 9,000 pistols produced and shipped to the south during that time.
One of the standard indicators of CS importation and usage of a Kerr revolver is the presence of the JS / (ANCHOR) inspection mark that is found on the front of the wooden grip of the pistols, below the grip frame tang. This is the inspection mark of John Southgate, who acted as a “viewer” (arms inspector) for the Confederacy. There are enough Confederate associated Enfield rifles and Kerr revolvers bearing this mark to say with certainty that all arms having this stamp are Confederate purchased weapons.
These revolvers were issued to Confederate cavalry in large numbers, including the 7th, 11th, 12th, 18th and 35th Virginia as well as the 24th Georgia and 8th Texas.
This example is a 3rd model Kerr, which are believed to have begun around serial number 3000. This Kerr is one of the early guns with serial number 3722. It has a matching cylinder serial number, and the common London Armoury markings and London proofs. It retains the first variation of the company name (London Armoury) on the lock. Later locks would be marked London Armoury Co. Most importantly, it also has the JS/Anchor on the grip. The gun is absolutely 100% complete and correct in every way. The timing is somewhat off however yet the ha,mer & trigger work fine.
These revolvers are very rare today and can be very expensive, but this genuine Confederate imported revolver is reasonably priced. This revolver can easily be the centerpiece of any Civil War collection!
I've tried to show everything about the gun in pictures but please ask questions of needed.
As this is an antique gun, no FFL is needed so it can ship directly to you if permitted by your state law (it is your responsibility to know the laws of your state pertaining to antique handgun purchases)
