Description

7/2/25 - This is an unusual sidearm was also known as the "Grape Shot Revolver." Developed in New Orleans in 1856 by Dr. Jean LeMat and backed by Pierre G.T. Beauregard, who was to become a general with the Confederacy. Roughly 2,900 were produced. This is an accurate Navy Arms Company / F.LL Pietta, Italian made, reproduction of the First Model LeMat, Cavalry Model which has a nine-shot, .44-caliber cylinder and rifled 6-3/4" barrel. What sets it apart from other revolver designs is the 20-gauge, .65 inch diameter 5-7/8" smoothbore barrel, originally intended for firing buckshot. Both are fired by a pivoting striker on the hammer. This one comes with a wood presentation case and a bullet mold. The gun itself shows essentially no signs of wear except for a few tiny surface scratches on the barrel. Mint bores. No FFL required.
