six shot black powder revolver, 6" oct. barrel, only marking found is on lower rh side of frame -"CS". I suspect it's a replica but thought rep's would be better marked. I have more photos

you just sent them back to me, they show in your post. I made an adjustment to my album, maybe they work now.

 

[jbombelli]

Now they're showing up. Interesting. I have no clue what the problem was... but I can see them now.

Is there a serial number anywhere?

I believe it's some sort of gun, like a revolver thingy ...

Maybe some gun experts will show up with more details.

 

[Tom Terrific]

no s/n or brand, or model. only marks found - "CS" on lower rh frame

 

[Sylvain]

Maybe you can tell us how you got it, like from a parent who bought it years ago or whatnot.It could help with its history.

 

[Mgderf]

Nope. Don't know what it is, bit it IS the best one I've ever seen.

 

[Tom Terrific]

Don't own it (yet?). just trying to find out if I want to

Good looking six shooter!

It looks like a Spiller & Burr. I believe the C.S. stands for Confederate States....or something like that.

Can't speak about whether or not it's a replica. Looks good though.

confederate navy replica, holding a buddy's that has been made into a "slapgun" per elmer keith.

buddy's was proofed by piata, guessing navy arms imported it.

Try that. It does look to be a Spiller & Burr as far as I can tell from a quick googling. The CS stamp has me wondering. The lack of a serial number isn't particularly troubling though, being a blackpowder gun. Nice .36 caliber pistol. If the price is reasonable I'd say go for it. Even if you can't hit the broad side of a barn, it's a really neat piece - especially if it is an original in firing condition.

It looks like a Whitney Navy revolver. Take a look at this link. #3862 E. Whitney Navy revolver, 36cal percussion, 72xx serial range (2nd Model mfg?d c1860). » Antique Guns and Firearms including Antique Hand Guns - Antique Guns for Sale

The CS is not on this one but the barrel and the rest of the construction appear very close. Of course that doesn't mean that the one you took the picture of isn't a reproduction.

What i believe you have there is a Spiller & Burr Confederate Navy pistol originaly manufactured from 1862 to 64.. The Confederate army ordered 15,000 of these pistols and only 1451 originals were ever produced.. They make replicas of this gun and sell em at cabelas and bass pro.. But if it is an original it's worth some big money..

 

[Sylvain]

I knew it was some kind of gun or something close to that.

Looks like a replica, the screws look way too new to be 1800's.
