This is one of an estimated 5,000 Army Model percussion revolvers manufactured by the Rogers & Spencer Co. for a U.S. Ordnance contract issued in November 1864. They were delivered from April to September 1865, too late to see use during the war despite the war not officially ending until August 1866. Bannerman's in New York city purchased nearly all of them in 1901 and sold them on the commercial market. The revolver features German silver cone front and frame groove sights and has the top strap stamped "ROGERS & SPENCER/UTICA N-Y" on either side of the sighting groove. Matching serial numbers are present on the barrel, loading lever, frame, cylinder, butt, and right grip. The left grip is numbered 3670 and has a script "RPB" cartouche. Small "B" inspection marks are stamped on most components.
