Civil War Remington New Model Army Revolver purported to have been found at a battlefield near Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia, serial #23894, .44 caliber, 8" octagon barrel with a fair bore that has light-moderate pitting within the grooves. This is a good looking revolver that was made ca. 1863, and has an overall dull pewter gray patina with spots of darker plum-brown freckling and small areas of pinprick pitting scattered throughout. Surface scratches are present on the cylinder, with a mild yellow-ochre patina on the trigger guard, and a heavily worn down front sight. The walnut grips are in fair shape with numerous handling marks present on both panels, as well as a large chip missing from the toe of the butt on the left side. There are no US inspector cartouches visible. The lock-up is solid, and the action functions well. A small modern display plaque accompanies the revolver that states that the revolver was, "Found in the Battle Fields around Kennesaw Mountain, GA." This is a good to very good example of a desirable Civil War revolver. Antique.
