This six-shot revolver was made under contract to the Confederate government. It is a brass framed copy of the Colt 1851 Navy revolver. In 1862, Samuel Griswold produced pikes for volunteers from the state of Georgia. The factory soon began producing revolvers for the Confederacy. No other Confederate factory produced more revolvers than Griswold & Gunnison. Griswoldville was the first town burned by Sherman's troops on his march to the sea.
This non-firing replica features a barrel length of 8" (20.32 cm) and a total length of 11" (27.94 cm), as well as beautiful brass framing, a blued finish, and wooden grips.
