Starr made about 32,000 revolvers between 1863 and 1865. The single action replaced the Model 1858 double action because it was less expensive to manufacture. The only other revolvers that surpass the Starr in numbers sold to the government during the civil war are the Colt and Remington.

CONDITION OF THIS REVOLVER: Offered is a 44 caliber, six shot pistol with an eight inch round barrel. The serial number 35678, which is stamped on the cylinder, frame and under the grips. The frame markings STARR/ARMS CO., NEW YORK on the left side and STARR’S PATENT JAN. 15, 1856 is on the right side. The metal is a bright cleaned and polished patina. The action works but does not index. The walnut grips have traces of cartouches are visible. It also has sub-inspector stampings on various parts throughout the pistol. Nice example of a civil war pistol used in the civil war.
