CONDITION: Very good, well above average as a Confederate issued
Dance revolver, exhibits a mottled gray and brown patina with some
scattered light patches of pitting and dings in the iron, the brass retains
an attractive untouched golden aged patina, with the mentioned
modified filed front sight and period added rear sight, replacement
wedge, and defined markings overall. The re-oiled walnut grip is also
very good with some dings and scratches, a replacement spliced
section on the left along with carved notches. Chipped section at the
top front right corner of the hammer, one absent percussion nipple.
The hammer occasionally does not engage full cock, the cylinder
occasionally does not properly advance and is slightly out of time,
otherwise mechanically functions intermittently. Dance & Brothers
revolvers are rarely offered for public sale, and this example would be a
prized addition in any Texas, Civil War or Confederate arms collection!
Estimate: 55,000 - 85,000
