FRAME NAVY REVOLVER. Cal. 36. S# 2110. This revolver has been known since the 1970s when in the famous pioneer Confederate collection of Fred Slaton of Nebo Kentucky. Revolver is fine survivor, uncleaned, authentic & matching throughout, numbered and marked on every part that can be marked. Samuel Griswold made about half of all approximate 7500 Confederate revolvers made in the Confederacy at his converted cotton gin factory in Griswoldville, GA. This is a standard 2nd model configuration with half octagonal barrel housing and 7.5" round barrel. Serial number "2110" is found stamped on the left side of frame, cylinder, and barrel housing. Secondary number "10" is found on loading arm, wedge, hammer, trigger guard, and penciled on one-piece walnut grips. Cryptic inspection "X" is observed: barrel, cylinder, frame, trigger guard, and backstrap. Matching assembly "XIIII" is cut into the trigger guard, backstrap and frame. Based on S# the revolver was manufactured early to mid 1864 during the Atlanta campaign. General NB Forrest is known to have had an officer personally pick up 60 Griswold revolvers from the Macon warehouse in April 1864, and this revolver is close to that range. This pistol is a fine survivor, original in every regard. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: copy of most recent Griswold article detailing production.
