Includes extra conical LeMat lead bullets. Literature: Adams, Doug. 2005 The Confederate LeMat. Stuart Mowbray, Inc. Photographed for this title. Provenance: M. Clifford Young Condition: This condition of this Second Model LeMat is spectacular, retaining most of the original high blue finish. Some very light minute flaking on the smooth bore barrel. A very small spot on the right side of barrel about 1.25" from the muzzle. Two very minute spots on the cylinder. Most of the original straw finish remains on the hammer and trigger. Frame retains all of the original bright blue finish, with one small scratch on the left side of frame. Butt has some wear around the high edges of the cap.

Tools are very close to mint. This LeMat revolver is near-mint and certainly one of the best known.
