I am researching revolvers that were purchased, or donated by the US Sanitary Commission, to be used as fundraisers at the various Sanitary Fairs held in the North. They usually had some, or a lot, or engraving, and were cased. Usually with ivory grips, but the distinguishing feature is a scene that is etched on the cylinder. Almost all of the scenes involve two riders in a wooded area pointing or shooting at each other, but there are a few variations.
Below are examples of a pursuit scene, and a charging scene.
Remington made a lot of them, all are New Model revolvers. But there are examples of Plant, and Moore revolvers with this same scene. The end goal is a monograph on these interesting revolvers for now, but which can serve as the basis for a book by a future researcher.
The needed info is: make; model; serial; finish; grip material; scene description; and is it cased?
If you have one, or know of one please contact me at: [email protected],
Thank you,
