Tranter Revolver Bullet Mold

Description

Tranter Revolver Bullet Mold

This is a very good condition mold for the imported British Tranter revolver. The English Connection notes these revolvers were mostly handled by retailers in New Orleans such as Guion, and Hyde and Goodrich, and were likely cased with accessories when they arrived. These were very popular throughout the pre-war south, however: the same volume illustrates a beautiful example retailed by T.W. Radcliffe of Columbia, SC, and indeterminate numbers were also run through the blockade during the war: prize-courts adjudicating captured blockade runner cargos list cased British revolvers and accessories. In any case, many made their way into the hands of Confederate officers.
