Item Details

".36 cal, s/n 40503, BP revolver, brl length 7.5"", single action, very good condition, Manufactured 1855 and presented to “Chas. H. Breckinridge. U.S.A.” which is engraved on the iron backstrap of this revolver. It is believed to have belonged to Charles Henry Breckinridge. Possibly presented to him upon his graduation from West Point with the U.S.A. standing for United States Army. His family was the true epitome of a Civil War family with brothers, fathers, sons, uncles and nephews supporting and fighting for both the Union and Confederate Armies. Charles Henry Breckinridge – 1844-1867 -- Charles Henry Breckinridge was born in Baltimore, Maryland on 09 September 1844 to Robert Jefferson and Anne Sophonisba Preston Breckinridge. He was appointed to West Point as a Cadet “at large” by President Abraham Lincoln in a letter dated June 1861. The original documentation being held by the National Archives, a copy of which will be included with the revolver. He graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York on June 23, 1865. In 1867 at Fort Morgan, Alabama, where First Lieutenant Breckinridge was commander with the 15th U. S. Infantry, yellow fever broke out among the soldiers. Although he had a leave of absence he remained at his post to minister to the sickness in his command. He contracted the disease and died on 27 August 1867 at the age of 22. He is buried at Lexington Cemetery in Lexington, Kentucky. His father was the Reverend Robert Jefferson Breckinridge, 1800-1871. During the Civil War, he helped establish the Danville Review, supporting the Union and served as Lincoln’s advisor in Kentucky. His Uncle, John C. Breckinridge was Vice-President of the United States under James Buchanan. In 1860 he ran for President but lost to Abraham Lincoln. When the South began to secede and Kentucky remained in the Union he resigned his Senate set and joined the Confederate Army. In February 1865 he was appointed Secretary of War for the Confederate States by Jefferson Davis. Following the war he fled the country in a self-imposed exile that lasted until 1869. His grandfather John Breckinridge, 1760-1806, studied at Augusta Academy (now Washington and Lee University) and William and Mary College. He was elected as a Democratic Republican to the U. S. Senate and served from march 4, 1801 until August 7, 1805 when he resigned to accept the position of Attorney General of the United States in the Cabinet of Thomas Jefferson. He served in this position until his death on December 14, 1806. His great grandparents are Robert and Letitia Preston Breckinridge. During the American Revolution Letitia provided supplies for the Patriots and thus earned the designation DAR Ancestor Number A202892. His great great grandfather Alexander Breckinridge was the Scottish immigrant who fled to America. Genealogy and related documents will be provided for inspection with the revolver and will be part of the purchase package. Loading lever, barrel, frame, wedge, iron trigger guard and iron backstrap all having matching numbers with the cylinder being numbered 41195.
