Looks just as though it was made in a plantation shed out of gun metal and melted down brass bells. Just as it should. An appropriate look for the original model's age of production. Goes very well with my collection.

GRISWOLD & GUNNISON
Imitation of a revolver from the American Civil War, made of metal and wood, featuring a simulated loading and firing mechanism and a rotating cylinder.
Inspired by the legendary Colt 1851 Navy, the Griswold & Gunnison was the Confederate South’s answer to the shortage of military resources.
Due to the lack of steel, manufacturers resorted to using brass often melted down from church bells to create its distinctive golden frame. The result was a .36 calibre percussion revolver with a six-shot cylinder and a 7.5-inch round barrel, both functional and distinctive.
Between 1862 and 1864, this weapon became the most widely manufactured revolver by the Confederacy, with around 3,700 units produced. Its grip, slightly angled backward, provided a unique ergonomic feel and distinctive personality compared to other weapons of its time.
The Griswold & Gunnison has left its mark in fiction: in the series Hell on Wheels, the protagonist Cullen Bohannon a former Confederate soldier carries it with him, reflecting his past and his connection to the conflict that defined 19th-century America.
Connecticut Yankee Samuel Griswold set up a cotton gin factory in Georgia in 1830.
The factory soon began producing revolvers for the Confederacy.
No other Confederate factory produced more revolvers than Griswold & Gunnison.
