LONDON ARMOURY COMPANY |





This is a London Armoury Company Adams Revolver which is marked on top of the frame "Robert Adams, 76 King Street, London." The gun has no finish, basically cleaned to bright but still a sharp gun with good markings and excellent grips. The London Armoury Company sold the Confederate Government Adams Revolvers, Kerr's Patent Revolvers, Enfield Rifles and Kerr's Patent .451 Sharpshooter Rifles. Now Robert Adams was one of the founders of the London Armoury Company and a major shareholder. His brother, John Adams made the Webley Wedge Frame Revolver, which was shipped into the South. It seems that if you were a Confederate purchasing agent, Robert Adams was the go-to guy in London. He seems to be behind the scenes and connected to the sale and transport of a large quantity of arms into the Confederacy. This gun is 12 serial numbers below 35,000. Two of these London Armoury Company Adams are listed on the Pratt List in the 36,000 range. This gun is more than like historically associated with the Confederacy. SOLD!!
