I'm willing to sell this pistol for $1,000.00 plus a modern perfect functioning pistol of any caliber.
Price is negotiable if you're wanting buy, but the revolver appraised at $2,200.00
A friend gave me this revolver a few days ago before moving out of state. I am heavily into modern weapons, but nothing of this nature.
This revolver has been appraised by a company specializing in Civil War era pistols. The company’s information and appraisal sheet regarding this revolver is available upon request.
I have attached additional links below if you are interested in viewing additional pictures. Just click on link you’ll be directed to the website where I uploaded additional photos.
The antique pistol company will have this pistol on display at the Costa Mesa gun show on November 30th - December 1st. They will be charging me a fee of 20%, lol, so it would behoove me to attempt in selling this pistol myself before that date.
Regarding the Revolver:
Make: Starr Arms
Model: 1863 Single Action
Caliber: .44
Barrel: A flashlight was shined down the barrel to better see the barrel's condition. The appraisers were impressed. There is very little pitting for being a revolver of that age (see link for photo).
Mechanics: The revolver is in excellent working order. I was advised against shooting this revolver after telling them I was tempted to shoot it. (see link for photo)
Markings: On the right side handle, you can see where the military cartouche is located. On the right side of the revolver, it reads “Starr’s Patent Jan, 18.1856.” On the left side of the revolver, it reads “Starr.Arms.Co.New.York.” (see link for photo)
Revolver’s Finish: I was told the finish was 99% gone (see link for photo)
Cylinder: The nipples are in excellent condition and the timing is tight (see link for photo)
