Springfield - Warner's Patent double trigger revolver, on grip number 23, cal. .31 percussion, 5" barrel with fixed sight and loading lever attached to the bottom of the barrel. The revolver was designed to circumvent Colt's patents. It was not successful, and according to Flayderman's Guide # 7A-110 only 125 made. After 150 years there are not many remaining, and this is the first in my possession. It is not marked, and the function might need some adjusting. Interestingly, between the back straps a metal plate as shown in the picture.
The metal is grayish, strong traces of varnish on grips. Very good condition     sold
