cal., 8 inch round bbl., blue finish, walnut grips. The Starr Arms Co. Model 1863 Army revolver was one

It is accompanied by a U.S. Model 1854 saber belt, a black leather flap holster, J. Davy & Co. cartridge box, J.B. Sickles & Co. cap box, cartridge pack, and Starr revolver .44 caliber conical bullet mold.
