More About Antique Revolvers

Antique firearms are defined as guns manufactured in or before 1898, replicas thereof, and firearms that use "a primitive ignition system," or that use ammunition that is no longer commercially available. Our auctions feature your favorite historic models, including the antique revolver and more.

Revolvers rose to relevance in the early 19th century, and almost instantly made their presence felt. Anyone bearing a wheelgun on their hip had a distinct advantage in firepower over those still relegated to carrying single-shot firearms.

RIAC's selection of antique revolvers for sale includes western firearms, military firearms, pepperboxes, double actions, single actions, Civil War revolvers, and more. Not only can you collect by firearm but also by manufacturer. RIAC auctions sell iconic brands like Colt, Smith & Wesson, Remington, and more.
