This is a fine example of the Civil War era front loading cup primed pocket revolver with 3-1/2" blue bbl with top rib marked "EAGLE ARMS CO - NEW YORK". This example retains most of its finish in a very rare box with orange illustrated label on top. Directions pasted inside top. Compartmentalized for a blue and gold paper labeled orig box for "Eagle Cartridges" retaining one cup fire cartridge. CONDITION: Revolver overall is very fine with bbl and cylinder retaining about 70% thinning blue finish with remainder plum. Frame retains about 80% silver plating. 2-pc rosewood grips are well fit retaining most of their orig varnish. Box presents gun nicely, though bottom corners are missing as can be seen in photograph. Pistol cartridge pack is much better with just minor scuffs and scrapes as can be seen in photos. Cleaning rod in box is very good. Mechanically gun functions well with well defined rifling in bore. 49646-8 JS (3,000-4,000)
