DESCRIPTION: Beautiful large frame double action English Beaumont - Adams percussion revolver. Many revolvers of this type were used by Confederate officers during the Civil War. The revolver was manufactured by London Armoury Company in England, as indicated by markings stamped on the left side of the barrel and frame, "L.A.C". This company was the largest single producer of imported handguns for the Confederacy. Thousands of such revolvers were shipped from London through the Federal blockade to numerous Southern ports. The revolver is exceptionally well made and nicely finished with bright blue and light floral style engraving. The top of the cylinder bridge displays following retailer's address, "Manton & Co. Gun Makers, London & Calcutta". Several English proofs are stamped on the frame, barrel and cylinder. Octagonal barrel. Five shot cylinder. Barrel length: 5.75 inch. Very nice one piece hardwood grip with diamond checkering. The revolver has all blue finish, except for the hammer and trigger that have polished steel finish. Manufactured without the lanyard ring. CONDITION: Overall in excellent+ to near mint condition with about 98% of original bright blue finish on the metal. One piece grip with diamond checkering would rate excellent if not for two hairline cracks. The action works fine. Excellent bore with strong rifling. The cylinder chambers are in excellent condition as well. High quality Beaumont Adams revolver that may have seen use by Confederate officers during the Civil War. Serial# 392XX. (Ref.: "The Revolver 1865-1888" by A.W.F. Taylerson, p.113, also in "Howdah to High Power" by Robert J. Maze, pp. 6-7 ). |
