Description
Massive bore on this small single shot pistol which was heavily imported into the United States (and Confederacy) from the late 1840s well into the Civil War era. The action is frozen—it might loosen up if soaked in diesel fuel. It moves a tiny bit but I don’t force 150+ year old guns. A very common backup weapon of the Civil War soldier both North and South and favored by gamblers and western travelers.
