Item Description: Translate description
serial #202637, .31 cal, 4'' octagon barrel with a moderately oxidized bore showing evident rifling throughout. This 1862-made revolver bears a fine period inscription along the butt with the name ''A.A. Emerson''. The metal surfaces have mostly toned to a deep gray-brown patina showing some scattered light dings and old oxidation speckling. The barrel bears a fine two-line Hartford address and the six-shot cylinder also retains a strong stagecoach scene. The triggerguard and backstrap retain about 80% original silver finish that has taken on a wonderful dark tarnish and the smooth walnut grip rates very fine with about 90% original varnish and showing some light dings mostly along the bases and bottom edges. All of the serialized parts are matching including the wedge and the action will require some mechanical attention as the bolt does not come up properly to lock the cylinder and one of the ratchet teeth is broken. The cylinder otherwise times on the other five chambers and the hammer remains quite crisp. No doubt purchased by a Civil War soldier, the rather common name makes pinpointing an individual rather difficult but the closest hits in the soldier databases are Aaron A. Emerson who served in the 12th Maine Infantry and Andrew A. Emerson of the 17th Vermont Infantry. (13B11981-98) {ANTIQUE} (700/900)
