Civil War Griswold & Gunnison Replica - Distressed Finish
Price:
$98.00
This Southern cap-and-ball, six-shot model recreates the famed revolver produced near Macon, Georgia, circa 1860. The worn/distressed finish emphasizes field-carried authenticity, while the brass-tone frame, steel-look barrel and cylinder, and smooth wood grips complete the period profile. Although non-firing, the action cycles like the original for realistic demonstrations and safe handling in costumed events or set work.
With Northern industry dominating firearms supply during the American Civil War, the Confederacy turned to regional makers for sidearms. Griswold & Gunnison became one of the South’s best-known producers, adapting Colt-style percussion designs and using brass frames due to steel shortages. Their revolvers saw hard service across the Western and Trans-Mississippi theaters—rugged, practical, and unmistakably Southern.
