One of the nicest Griswold revolvers extant. This most desireable
Confederate revolver was made by Griswold and is one of approximately
3600 guns produced. This example is ser. number 2096 which dates it to
a late 1863 manufacture. Probably Nov. of '63. It has all matching
numbers as well as secondary numbers and all in the right places. The
wedge is not numbered. The grip displays nicely with nice edges and two
notches carved in.. one could only guess the meaning..battles or Yankees
killed? Nice twist in cylinder and flaw along top of barrell. The cryptic
marks are visible under loading lever and back of cylinder. This gun was
from the Fred Edmunds collection and comes with his letter of
examanation.

Very good CS 1st Model Kenansville cav. sabre from this well known
Confederate manufacturer. Has original leather grip which has shrunk
from age with the original single iron wire wrap. Blade is as nice as you
will find with grey to bright overall color as CS blades go. Has typical
unstopped fuller. Nice pleasing patina to guard with nice sand casting on
bottom of guard. The small pommel and cast guard identify this as a 1st
model along with the scabbard. Scabbard has much original finish, now
turned to maroon in color, especially between ring mounts. Has some
dents but try to find one with original finish. The mounts are brass with a
replaced throat, which is brass as correct. Great chance at an early
manufactured CS sword from North Carolina
