Confederate Civil War era Lefaucheux Pinfire Revolver Grouping - Antique
Lot # 31 (Sale Order: 32 of 371)
From an old collection, this possible Confederate Civil War era Lefaucheux Pinfire Revolver is in very good condition but has a weak trigger return spring. It is a .36/9mm caliber double action cartridge revolver with French proofs. Comes with an original CSA Special Order confirming the resignation of Colonel WH Niles of the 60th Regiment Georgia Volunteers due to wounds received. The revolver might have belonged to Col. Niles, and the 60th Georgia Volunteers fought with the Army of Northern Virgina early and late in the war, and outside Charleston, SC mid war. The grouping also includes a dug US Eagle Breast Plate, a minie ball embedded in a piece of wood, two dug rings and a gilt eagle coat button. They come in a nice wood chest with an early 20th century cotton CS battle flag. Can not prove any of this has been together from the war, but it is a nice grouping overall.
