This is a six shot, .36 caliber revolver made between 1 by Henry S. North and Edward Savage of Middletown, Connecticut. This revolver was only produced during the first 2 years of the Civil War. The US government originally purchased 5,500 and later puchased an additional 11.284 revolvers. 800 were delivered to the Union Navy. Serial number is an early one: 28XX, so a late 1860 or early 1861 production. Weapon is marked on the frame and underside of the barrel with matching serial numbers. Top of barrel is clearly stamped with : SAVAGE R.F.A. Co. MIDDLETOWN.CT / H.S.NORTH PATENTED JUNE 17 1856 / JANUARY 18 1859 MAY 15 1860. The 1861 Savage was officially used by the following United States army regiments: 1st Wisconsin U.S. Volunteer Cavalry, 2nd Wisconsin U.S. Volunteer Cavalry, 5th Kansas Volunteer Cavalry, and the 7th New York Cavalry Confederate States Army regiments: 34th Battalion of Virginia Cavalry, 35th Battalion of Virginia Cavalry, 11th Texas Cavalry, 7th Virginia Cavalry and the 7th Missouri Cavalry Among the distinctive features of this weapon is the "humped" back strap, the large case-hardened off set hammer and the extreme size of the off set case-hardened trigger guard containing a ring cocking lever below a conventional trigger. Both are cased-hardened. The heart shaped guard extends from behind the cylinder to the lower part of the frame just above the butt strap. The cocking lever or ring trigger when drawn to the rear the hammer, rotates the cylinder and draws it backward away from the barrel. When the ring is released, the cylinder moves forward locking the cylinder against the beveled barrel breech to form a gas tight union. The arm is then fired by pulling the upper trigger which releases the hammer to fall on the percussion cap through the opening in the top of the frame. It has black walnut two piece grips Revolver is in very good overall condition, nice patina, mechanics are all smooth, traces of the original blue finish remain, bore has seen use but rifling still good, minor pitting of metal, an excellent example of a relatively rare Civil War era revolver This is part of my personal collection which I am selling.
