This revolver preserves the distinctive Spiller & Burr pattern with a brass solid-topstrap frame and a fixed rear notch, paired with a fixed front blade. The six-shot unfluted steel cylinder and under-barrel loading lever with plunger reflect the traditional cap-and-ball design.
Chambered in .36 caliber, it follows the historical configuration associated with Confederate-era Spiller & Burr revolvers. The single-action-only mechanism is operated by an external hammer, and the revolver wears two-piece varnished wood grips.
The 7-inch octagonal steel barrel complements the steel cylinder and brass frame for an authentic material mix. The fixed sights are soldered on, consistent with the straightforward, period-style arrangement.
This example is an unbranded reproduction with no visible maker's marks or proofmarks. It comes with practical extras for black powder use, including extra percussion nipples, a tin of Remington percussion caps, and a cleaning rod with bore brush.
