Manufactured in 1865 with this example featuring a full silver finish and the name "GG Tanner" inscribed on right side of the frame. The barrel rib has the one-line address, and the cylinder has the patent dates marking. The right grip panel is numbered to the gun. Comes with a period correct partitioned mahogany case and a hickory cleaning rod. Although "GG Tanner" remains identified, we did find a couple of interesting hits on the National Park Service's Civil War soldiers database: Garrett G. Tanner of the 143rd New York Infantry Regiment and George G. Tanner 1st Georgia Infantry Regiment. Many Old Armies saw hard use during the Civil War. Its easy to load and unload, rapid fire design made it highly popular with Union officers and pioneers headed westward, and the model remains highly popular with today's collectors. Provenance: The Andrew Singer Collection

Excellent, retaining 98% plus high attractive age darkened original silver plating. The grips are also excellent with some scattered handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The case is very fine with minor handling/storage marks and typical high spot wear on the lining. An awesome full silver plated, inscribed Old Army!
