So my Uncle came across an old Civil War revolver and, of course, sent the family gun-nut on the quest for info. I have no pictures at this point and very little info but figured I would dip into the well of knowledge to see if anybody has any info at this point.
Below is from the email he sent me.
"It was made by Allen and Wheelock in Worster Massacusetts and has a
patent date fo sept 7 and nov 9 1859 (or 1858) It is a center hammer
lipfire single action army revolver."
What exactly is a lipfire? I assume rimfire.
As always thanks.
Chris
