Sometimes referred to as the "Seven Shooter" this revolver was manufactured from 1861 to 1863. Total quantity estimated at several thousand. Quite a few of these were known to have been privately purchased by Union officers and enlisted men and carried during the American Civil War. This revolver features "D. MOORE.PATENT.SEPT. 18. 1860" marked in white on the top barrel flat. Scroll engraved with punch dot background silver plated frame, trigger guard, recoil shields and backstrap. Checkered hammer, brass post front sight and notch rear sight. Seven shot cylinder with removable ejector rod mounted under the barrel. Barrel and cylinder swing to right for loading. Fitted with smooth walnut grips. Complete with a red velvet lined wooden case with blank brass initial lid plaque and containing the following: 1) A cleaning rod. 2) Two screwdrivers. 3) A Winchester ammunition box for the .32 short cartridge and holding around 20 cartridges. 4) Around 20 loose .32 short cartridges and around 50 .32 long cartridges. 5) A key. This revolver is cased with a second identical Moore's revolver featuring a simple scroll engraving.

Very good plus. The metal surfaces exhibit a smooth gray-silver patina. The brass retains approximately 85-90% of the silver plating. The grips are excellent with some minor scratches, light bottom edge wear and a few minor nicks on the butt. The engraving is clear and crisp. The marking is clear. The case is very good with some minor-moderate handling marks. From the Will Hoffeld collection, purchased from Parke Bernet Auction 1977.

As described in A but with a simple scroll engraved pattern.

Very good with visible traces of blue on the underside of the barrel mixed with a mottled brown patina and the cylinder has a smooth dark patina. There is very light pin prick pitting. The brass retains approximately 80-85% of the silver plating. The grips are very good with some minor handling marks and light bottom edge wear.
