Krogen, I will double check the next time I'm working as to the provenance of this particular revolver. I usually do 3-5 hours Wednesday/Thursday. The Museum has about 300 firearms, ranging from very unique and valuable pieces to rusted wrecks. Even the rusted wrecks are sometimes interesting, such as a Remington 1861 (some say 1858) percussion revolver that was picked up that the Bates Battlefield (1874) site in 1908.

The Museum accepts donations of artifacts from a variety of sources. Items do not necessarily have historic significance. My recollection is this revolver was given by a local law enforcement agency after it was confiscated from a convicted felon.
