CONFEDERATE KERR REVOLVER. LONDON ARMORY KERR 3361 44 Cal. 44. The London Armory Co. produced about 11,000 large 54 bore revolvers from 1859-1866. The largest part of that production were purchased by the Confederacy. The majority of guns with credible Confederate association have the stamp "JS/anchor" on grips just behind trigger guard. Serial numbers range from 1019-9975 with this marking. Excellent new information can be found on English Confederate imports in the monumental text just published in 2014 by Russ Pritchard and C.A. Huey The English Connection. This "as found" example just brought in from a local Maine estate, as the earliest style markings with "London Armoury" on lock, matching SN found externally on frame and cyl. CONDITION: Gun is good overall. Complete and all matching other than latch. Front sight has contemporary upgrade to blade with small inset horn post. Metal brown overall, markings all discernible. Stocks are well fit with discernible JS/anchor marking. Large sliver about 1" - 3/8" missing on right side with a nail repair. 49969-2 JS (2,000-4,000)
