Thought you might like to see what Nathan Starr contributed to the American Civil War.
top is a 1816 Starr mucket converted to percussion and the barrel shortened
next is a Starr Carbine percussion fired
next is a Starr carbine in 56-56 rimfire 1864 model
next is the 1863 Starr single action revolver. This one was converted to rimfire cartridge after the war.
next is the so-called double action revolver was more of a self cocking than double action. The Starr was the third most issued revolver of the war
next is A Starr 4-barrel pocket pistol in 32 rimfire each pull pf the trigger rotated the firing pin to a different barrel
and last is the 1812 cavalry saber. although out dated there were still lots of them in storage in union armories when the South took them over at the start of the war so they ended up on Southern troopers' belts at the start of the war. Hope you enjoyed seeing this bit of history
