This five-shot percussion has a robust solid frame reminiscent of Adams revolvers and a loading assembly like a Colt. It is profusely engraved with floral vines and scrolls on the frame and hammer, with shorter floral motifs on the loading lever and buttstrap, and is marked on the top strap “R. STAHL IN HASSFURT” with a floral spray at the front. The cylinder is plain. The frame is steel gray shading to brown on the top. The barrel, loading lever and cylinder show some thin blue. The triggerguard is shading to brown. The metal is generally smooth but with some small light pitting on the lower forward frame. The grips have good color, surface showing some dings on the butt, and narrow shrinkage gaps along the frame.

This is single action, without a half-cock position for the hammer. Caliber of these is usually given as 9MM, roughly equivalent to .36. Stahl tried to interest his government, but the pistol was rejected in government trials and Stahl was unsuccessful in obtaining contracts. The left grip is stamped 1863, with the last digit a little blurred, but clear enough to encourage someone not very long ago to stamp “28TH REG NC CSA” on the underside of the barrel. It is an interesting pistol nonetheless. [sr][ph:L]
