This is a rare Augusta, Georgia marked Rigdon & Ansley Revolver. The gun has all matching serial numbers to include the barrel, frame, trigger guard, backstrap, cylinder, cylinder pin, barrel wedge, loading lever and loading lever catch. The barrel wedge is original but was miss-stamped 1919 instead of 1619. The gun is relatively smooth with a few dents and dings. Mechanically it functions nicely and is still tight. The barrel to frame fit is solid as a rock. The twelve notch cylinder has good nipples and indexes properly. You will note that the top of the barrel, where the markings are, has what looks like a few really deep pits. Those are not pits. They are forging occlusions, flaws in the original forging that the barrel was cut from. They tried to grind the top flat to remove them but they were too deep, so they gave up and just marked over them. The marking is Augusta, GA. CSA. The GA portion of the die stamp even has the double chatter which is very important to its authenticity. The gun still has a good bore with good rifling. A decent, very good condition Augusta, GA marked Rigdon & Ansley. SOLD!!
