Selling a collectable piece of History that is fully operational and functional. Production looks to be between 1857-1860. This is an antique with a letter certifying it requires No Pal to purchase or own.
Completely gone through by a gunsmith to ensure everything is safe and functional, new hammer spring installed, internals polished and cleaned, new pin installed and new barrel shim installed.
All original Patina is untouched and left in its original state showing its full history. This is an amazing display piece and I had a lot of fun shooting it.
I am open to offers and trades. Ships anywhere in Canada.

The Whitney Revolver was an American Civil War era, percussion lock revolver, developed at the Whitneyville Armory by the Whitney Arms Company and Fordyce Beal. A total of just under 33,000 Whitney revolvers were produced prior to and during the American Civil War, with some being used on both sides through both government and private purchases.
The majority of the 33,000 Whitneys were issued to the New Jersey regiments and for the US Navy, while officers from across the Union purchased their own Whitneys. A limited number of Whitneys (of early production) are thought to have been used by the Confederate States.
