:oops: Gentlemen: I think I need your expert opinion. I bought a seemingly ok original Rogers and Spencer revolver some time ago, but now I start thinking that I`ve been had.

Rogers And Spencer Serial Numbers

THE RODGERS AND SPENCER PERCUSSION. RIGHT & LEFT SIDE VIEWS OF THE ROGERS AND SPENCER.44 CALIBER SINGLE ACTION. January 1859 patent 22,511 for percussion revolvers. Mar 28, 2008 wtk: roger and spencer revolver. 'Rogers & Spencer. I would think it was a straight forward roger and spencer except it does not have a serial number.

The only marks I can find on the weapon are the name and address on top and.44 cal on the left side of the barrel, under the lever it says c70, the serial number is 009535 and it is just below the cylinder on the left hand side of the weapon. There are no other marks on the revolver, is it possible that it is an original one or were all of them marked and inspected and have numbers from 1-5000 and the B of the inspector? I would really appreciate your help, sincerely, Rob. No experts responding - so I looked this one up in the Flayderman's Guide to Antique American Firearms: From your description and what's printed there - it appears you may have one of approx 800 CIVILIAN pieces produced - that might explain the 'c' prefix to the serial number. Government pieces were stamped with RPB inspector markings on grips and 'certain' metal parts. 5000 Army models were made, too late for Civil War use, stockpiled and then sold to Bannerman & Son in 1901 for surplus sale to civilians. Sketchup Cracked.

My Flayderman's is the 7th Ed. From 1998 and lists values for the Civlian version in the 1400 to 3000 dollar range - with inflation and increase in the gun market, I'd estimate that value range, today would be more in the 1700 to 3500 range.

Antique Arms, Inc. - Rogers and Spencer Revolver Rogers and Spencer Revolver N ice untouched example of a.44 Caliber Rogers and Spencer Model Army Revolver. There were 5000 of these built at the end of the Civil War for the US Government. Most were never issued and eventually sold as surplus to Bannerman's in 1901. This is a standard gun with US Gov't inspector markings and 'RPB' cartouche on the left grip. Almost every part has a small sub-inspector marking in the form of a small letter 'B'. Serial number is in the 3800 range. Topstrap is marked 'ROGERS & SPENCER' / 'UTICA NY'.

Overall condition is NRA Antique Fine+ to Excellent with 80% bright original blue on the frame. The barrel retains 60% bright blue with the balance a mixture of faded blue and plum patina. The cylinder is also a mixture of 50% original blue and plum patina. Both the hammer and loading lever show dull molten case colors that are subsiding to a patina. Very good grips still show 90% of their original oil finish with a small chip on bottom of the right grip.very common on this model as the grips are very sharply angled at the base. Great wood to metal fit.

Nice inspector's cartouche. Excellent mechanics. The bore is mint.just like new.and cylinder walls still have their original finish as do the nipples. Being an un-issued Civil War revolver that was sold as surplus, this gun has probably never been fired. A nice untouched and un-issued example of Civil War revolver. Item# 8810 SOLD.
