Exceptional U.S. Martially Inspected Civil War Contract Starr 1858 Double Action Army Revolver

Approximately 23,000 of these revolvers were manufactured in the late 1850s and early 1860s, most of them for the government. Standard "STARR. ARMS. Co. NEW. YORK." address on left side of frame, "STARR'S PATENT JAN. 15, 1856" on the right. Serial numbers match on the front of the barrel lug, in the hammer well and front of the hammer, and the cylinder is mismatched (5014). There are small "W" inspection marks on some of the components. The revolver is fitted with a smooth one piece walnut grip with a crisp four letter cartouche on the lower left side. Provenance: The Phillip Otto Clark Collection

ConditionExceptionally fine. The revolver retains 85% plus of the bright original high polish blue finish with scattered flaking and a smooth brown patina on the grip straps and front strap which also shows some minor pitting. The hammer retains 95% of the original vivid case colors. The grips is excellent with a few minor dings and crisp cartouche. The markings are clear. Mechanically fine.
