Rogers & Spencer .44 revolver, model 1865.
Special order for the U.S. Federal Government
but shipped too late to be issued for use in the "Civil War" between
the North and South. The whole shipment of approximately 5000 guns was
sold for scrap in 1901. More information on a website that mis-spells the name, even though they show a picture of the barrel address with the correct spelling! |

Colt
model 1873 Single Action Army. This was designed as a breech loading
cartridge gun. This example was specially produced in percussion form
as the cartridge version is now prohibited in the U.K. by the Firearms Act 1997. Not "spirit of the original" as never produced as a "muzzle loader". Can be used in "free revolver" competitions, as can the Ruger Old Army (designed from scratch in the 1960's). More information on the original cartridge model. |
