Price: $3,650.00
Availability: SOLD
Prod. Code: FR493

Scarce Civil War percussion Benjamin F Joslyn Army model revolver, .44 caliber. Serial #580 matching. These scarce revolvers were produced early in the war during 1861-1862 with only approximately 3,000 manufactured. This example is in very good+ condition overall. The metal is a pleasing smooth aged gun metal grey. Triggerguard plate with a generous amount of original blued finish remaining.  Very clear barrel markings on the top "B. F. JOSLYN. / PAT'D MAY 4TH,1858.". Bore with strong rifling. Mechanics are very good, tight. Beautiful 2-piece original walnut grips with fine distinct checkering still present. These scarce Joslyn revolvers are not common to run across on today's market. This example would be hard to better, .100% original and complete.
