I am looking for additional information on this gun. George Todd was a small gunmaker in Austin TX from 1856-1861 and produced copies of the Colt 1851 Navy .36 prior to the ACW. My information about him and his guns is relegated to Flayderman's Guide and "Confederate Handguns" (Albaugh, et al, 1963).
Accordingly, Todd produced both octagonal and part round/part octagonal barrel models.
Flayderman scan:
I believe this one to be a real Todd revolver, but I cannot find any reference to it after the 2007 auction, where it did not sell.
I believe this one to be a spurious Italian defarbed repro, mainly because of the incorrect stamping on the right side of the frame.
Any info would be well appreciated!
