CIVIL WAR Antique STARR 1858 ARMY Revolver
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique STARR 1858 ARMY Revolver Early Double Action Martial Revolver Here we present an antique Starr Model 1858 Double Action Army Revolver, manufactured circa 1860 in New York. Though not nearly as many of these were made as the Colt 1860s or Remington 1858s, the Starr represents probably the third-most issued revolver during the American Civil War. It would have been used most widely by cavalrymen. It differed tremendously from the other revolvers in its class by being double actioned. The large, curved trigger cocked the hammer and revolved the cylinder, and, at the end of travel, tripped the trigger at the back of the trigger guard, firing the revolver. Ironically, despite being ahead of its time, the Starr Model 1858 Double Action Revolver was sidelined when the U.S. government asked for a revised single action version for the troops, which culminated in the Starr Model 1863 Single Action Revolver. Eben T. Starr, the inventor, was also responsible for the Starr Cavalry Carbine, which was also purchased by the Union during the war. It is marked “STARR. ARMS. Co. NEW. YORK.” on the left side of the frame. The right is marked “STARR’S PATENT JAN. 15. 1856” The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces are covered in a light gray patina. The markings are clear and legible. Serial numbers match. The grips are in good shape. The bore is dark with strong rifling. The action on this revolver is strong. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 6 inches. Caliber: .44 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1875 #7016 SOLD Antique: Yes |
