SN: 84743 Martially marked Civil War Era single action percussion revolver that was converted to cartridge and chambered in .45 Colt. Features a high polish blued finish, 8" octagonal barrel, loading lever, pinched post front sight, 'v' notched rear sight, non-fluted five-shot cylinder, brass trigger guard, smooth trigger, case hardened hammer with checkered spur, and two piece smooth walnut grips with "GP" cartouche on the left panel. Matching serial numbers on the underside of the barrel & on the grip frame. Revolver retains approximately 65% of its bright blue finish showing edge wear & scattered losses/flaking with the cylinder in-the-white possessing a brown patina. Action is mechanically sound though the firing pin has broken off the hammer, bore is bright with strong rifle & few spots of light surface rust, markings are very good, and wood grips are very good with some minor losses along the bottom edge. Condition is very fine. ***Antique Firearm***
