Rare Confederate Griswold & Gunnison Percussion Revolver

A rare example of the approximately 3,700 revolvers manufactured by Samuel Griswold in his Griswoldville, Georgia, factory between 1862 and 1864. The revolver has a distinctive brass frame and dragoon type barrel with rounded barrel lug contour. The serial number is stamped on the right side of the frame, the cylinder, and the right side of the barrel lug, and a secondary number "18" is stamped on the trigger guard, backstrap and correctly penciled on the inside of the grip. A cryptic "B" is marked on the brass components. The name "W.A. JONES" is stamped on the butt. Records shows Confederate soldiers by that name appears in most of the various Confederate states.

ConditionFair with a mix of original and antiqued replacement parts., dark brown on mild oxidation/pitting on the iron, aged patina on the brass, refinished grips with chips, and general moderate wear. The timing is off; otherwise, it mechanically functions.
