For your bidding pleasure is a Spiller & Burr reproduction percussion .36 caliber revolver. This revolver utilizes a 7” octagonal barrel with a bright nickel finish. The six shot cylinder, hammer, and trigger all show a nice, patina’d nickel finish that compliments the mustard brass frame. The wood grips show good condition and a nice fit to the frame. The percussion revolver is unmarked but is done in the style of the Spiller & Burr Confederate revolver. In 1861, with very few resources, the Confederacy attempted to arm itself. Several armories and factories were created in the South to help meet these needs. Established by Lt. Col. James H. Burton at the request of the Confederate Chief of Ordnance, the private manufacturing firm of Spiller & Burr set out to manufacture 15,000 revolvers over two and a half years for the Confederate cavalry. The contract called for a .36 caliber Navy revolver, Colt's model. Colt's Navy revolver had been adopted by the Confederate government as a standard revolver, but Burton felt another type of revolver was superior to Colt's. Burton selected the Whitney revolver, Second Model, First Type as a model arm for Spiller & Burr. No Serial Number. Black powder firearms do not require a FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
