This is an attractive .44 caliber Civil War Starr patent revolver. This is the pistol that is known officially as the model 1858 Starr Double Action revolver, this is the shorter barrel version that has the self cocking action style mechanics. The barrel is full-length with a pleasing look with a smooth finish. The six inch barrel is full-length and has the original front sight intact. The cylinder has all of the nipples present and accounted for. The action works well on all positions. It has all matching serial numbers of 19,052. According to Flayderman's guide they only made about 23,000 of these Starr double action revolvers. The Starr Arms Company marking on the frame is nice and clear as is the New York production location. The original 1-piece walnut wood grips are intact on the handle and are in nice well-worn shape. You can see the two cartouche stampings in the wood where the gun was approved for military service by the Government inspector. On the right hand side, it has the "C.S.L." for the inspector Chester S. Leonard. The other side has the "L.A.B." for the inspector L.A. Brown. This is a fine looking original Civil War double action Starr revolver with all matching production numbers.
