Description
Nice, Early, Untouched Confederate 2nd Model Le Mat "Grapeshot" Revolver #1337 Matching. A number of Le Mats in this 1300 range have surfaced with a history of Confederate usage and this example also doubtless saw Confederate service. All metal smooth and gray, excellent bores, mechanically perfect. Marked on the top flat of the Barrel "Col Le Mat Bte s.g.d.g. Paris" and on the side flat, just forward of the serial number with a star over LM. The side of the hammer bears a large "N". All markings sharp and crisp. Grips excellent with smooth even wear and very nice patina. The combination of a 9 shot .42 caliber cylinder, proved devastating in hand to hand encounters, and these innovative revolvers were highly prized by Confederate officers, most notably the "Virginia Cavalier" General JEB Stuart. The loading lever assembly on this specimen is missing. An exceptionally nice untouched, readily restorable, Confederate used Le Mat.Auction Info
