Exceptional Confederate Navy Revolver Produced By Griswold and Gunnison .36 Cal.
Rare late production Second Model Griswold revolver in absolutely complete untouched condition. Every single part down to the screws is original as issued from the factory. The very last guns produced at Griswoldville GA. are without serial numbers. According to John Sexton whose letter accompanies it, there are only ten survivors of this late variation. “Cryptic” Inspection mark “VI” on the grip frame and inside the grip channel. “AA” mark on cylinder, barrel, back strap, trigger guard, and frame. As far as condition goes, this Griswold is in the top 10% of ALL survivors. Let that sink in. According to John Sexton’s assessment “Very Good by NRA Antique Arms Standards. 100% complete, authentic, and matching. Shows little use, mottled iron patina, toned brass patina, crisp ratchets, 6 complete and functional safety pins, well defined bore, FINE by Confederate standards.” The ownership pedigree of this fine Confederate gun goes back to E. Berkley Bowie (1882-1934), Richard E. Steuart (1879-1951), Richard Brady, William A. Albaugh (1908-1983) listed in Albaugh’s 1955 “Brass Framed Colt & Whitney” reference list, Bruce Kusrow (1942-2017) who also recorded this gun in his 1966 compendium. This Griswold is also the very one photographed on page 96 of Dave Topper’s reference book “Civil War Relics from Georgia”.
