Scarce Raphael Civil War Era Revolver (AH5580)

Scarce Raphael Civil War Era Revolver. Very fine example! Made in France by Perrin on basis of a patent held by Mangot-Comblain and marketed by George Raphael. Approximately 1000 of these were used in the Civil War. Most of these guns have very little to no finish, while this one has 85% original blue. Very fine unusual Civil War revolver.
