RARE & FINE CIVIL WAR BUTTERFIELD ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER. BUTTERFIELD ARMY 334 41 Cal. 41. This is a very nice example of the 5-shot 41 cal brass frame secondary Army revolver, difficult to find in such fine, complete, functional condition. This gun conforms to other noted examples marked on top strap in 3-lines "BUTTERFIELD'S / PATENT DEC 11.1855 / PHILADA". There were only about 600 of these revolvers made. PROVENANCE: Outstanding estate collection of Confederate and historical arms of Morris Racker. CONDITION: Gun appears complete with matching SNs. Traces of original blue are found in protected areas of iron and strong traces of silver plate are found on protected areas of brass frame. Unique screwed in capping device is complete and intact. Stocks are sound and solid with a left inside toe repair. 51958-17 JS (6,000-8,000)
