Somewhere around 9,000 of these revolvers are known to have run the blockade.

Revolver is correctly marked on the lock “London Armoury Co.”. The frame is marked “Kerr’s Patent”. "6,025". This gun, overall, appears to have seen heavy use. The cylinder has one broken nipple.  .44 caliber, single action. 5 shot. Strong action and lock-up.

Overall gun is smooth with good edges. The checkered Walnut grips show decent checkering and on hairline crack.  The action does not work, and the retaining spring is lacking.  A very reasonably priced example of a Confederate used revolver.
