PAIR OF FAKE CONFEDERATE REVOLVERS.REPROSNAVY58,58236Cal. 36. There are many fake Confederate revolvers offered as original and there have been many sold in auction as original. 1) There are only 3 complete Columbus Firearms pistols known and SN 58 is one of the numerous fakes that have been made over the years. Cataloger is not sure what this gun started out as, but possibly made from scratch with similar small SNs seen by this extremely rare manufacturer. Full fraudulent manufacturer's address on bbl and cylinder. 2) Griswold 1st Model revolver SN 582, most likely made and artificially aged from a Navy Arms brass framed reproduction with added markings. PROVENANCE: Outstanding estate collection of Confederate and historical arms of Morris Racker. CONDITION: 1) Artificially aged and pitted. Fair overall. Mechanically not functional, but appears complete. 2) Also fair. Missing several screws and wedge. 51958-37 JS (2,000-3,000)
