Civil War Pistol Case / SOLD

Civil War Pistol Case - Inventory Number: HAN 112 / SOLD

Unique handmade pistol box circa 1861.  Constructed of dovetailed mahogany with a pistol shaped bone inlay bearing the original owner’s initials: “G.M.Y.”.  The interior of the box is intricately designed and with a sliding lid and spring latched compartment for ammunition.  It appears to have been constructed for a pair of Smith and Wesson 2nd model “Army Revolvers”.  An awesome and unique relic. We haven’t encountered another like it in our thirty years.
