LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE JUST LEVELED THE PLAYING FIELD  ~   Suddenly the
Yankee Colt Army probably looked weak . . .  Can you imagine unloading this
nine plus one shot revolver  . . . while riding hard and fast into blue belly cavalry
. . . . HAAAAAAAAWWWW  . . . Gorgeous LeMat Revolver with matching
numbers and mechanically sound .... The loading lever has no matching number
... and my guess an old replacement.   Whole lot of revolver here with strong
condition and eye appeal . . .  The original wood grips look great and just a solid
example.  Fine enough for any collection and priced below what I saw this
weekend.

MAN'S MAN  ~   Thomas Benton Smith was the youngest of the Confederate
Brig. Generals.  His history would make for one hell of a motion picture.  
Severely wounded at The Battle of Murfreesboro and again in the Georgia
Campaign.  He fought bravely at The Battle of Franklin and Nashville were he
was captured.  Shortly after being captured and while being held as a prisoner
he was beaten over the head with a sword by a yankee officer.  As a result of
the injury he would be sent to Tennessee State Hospital for the insane after the
War.  Where he died on May 21, 1923.  One day when you have the time  . . .
Please read about this real American's History and service.  Just in case this
quick write up is vague . . . I truly love this artifact.
