This is a fine early second model 9-shot “grapeshot” revolver made in 1863 still retaining 1st model flat spring latch on frame attaching barrel. This revolver is fresh from Houston area estate, where consigner states his grandfather traded blacksmith work for this gun about 100 years ago. This serial number is new to the database. The story fits as this is a complete original survivor with rarely offered original military flap holster. Markings are very good and above average including observed serial numbers on frame, barrel, cylinder, latch, trigger, hammer, loading arm, and removable rammer. Engraved barrel address “Col. Lemat Bte sgdg Paris”.
