Manufactured by the Starr Arms Company of New York City, this cap and ball percussion arm is an original double-action Model 1858 Army revolver in fair to good overall condition. These weapons were in production from the late 1850’s through the early 1860s with a total of some 23,000 units produced at the company’s Binghamton and Yonkers New York facilities.

This Starr DA revolver has no trace of any original factory bluing on the frame. Also shows no government cartouches stamped on the grips. Revolver also has some inspector marks on the barrel, frame and cylinder. Patent date stampings on the frame are strong and sharp and read “STARR ARMS CO. NEW YORK” and “STARR’S PATENT JAN.15, 1856”.

This sidearm is a .44 caliber, double action model with a 6-shot unrebated cylinder, a 6” round barrel and with nipples protruding from the back of the cylinder. Two of the nipples are missing. Stamped serial number of “15337” appears on the hammer and hammer rest. Number not visible on the cylinder. Grips are of one-piece walnut and in poor to fair condition with dings, chips and shrinkage. Screws are slightly buggered up. Mechanics are good.
