Item Description
9.25" long wooden revolver made from different pieces of wood from actual parts of the Gettysburg Battlefield. Souvenir gun dates to the 1880s, where these guns were sold in relic shops, and was likely issued for the 20th Anniversary of the battle. Ink-stamped on one side of bullet chamber "Gettysburg - July 1,2,3, 1863." Each piece of gun (excluding trigger/trigger guard) has been marked w/ink stamp under varnish as to what part of the battlefield the wood came from. Previously mentioned side of bullet chamber is also marked "Little Round Top." Other side is marked "Wheat Field" while handle/barrel is marked "Peach Orchard" and "Big Round Top" on ejector rod. Hammer is marked, but not clearly legible. Gun has very small nicks/chips to varnish along hammer, barrel and bullet chamber but Fine/VF overall. Interesting historical souvenir/artifact. Rare.
