TRANTER'S PATENT |











This is a very rare 80 bore (.36 caliber) Tranter Revolver which is serial number 12302. It is marked, on top of the barrel "W. Tranter's Patent, Hyde & Goodrich, Agents for the United States South." It was manufactured about 1860 and marketed by Hyde & Goodrich, New Orleans. The gun is complete and functioning. It has good checkering on the grips and a light patina over a relatively smooth surface. It is cased in an American mahogany casing. The case shows wear but appears to be an authentic period casing for this gun. It has a correct Tranter's Patent 80 bore bullet mold., a Hawksley bag flask, an Eley cap tin and a period oiler. Even the bullets in the case are old. A very rare Southern import revolver. SOLD!!
