Confederate Dance Revolver from Brian Akins that checks all the boxes. This Confederate Dance Revolver was on display at the Texas Civil War Museum for 20 years. This Confederate Dance Revolver is as it left the Anderson Texas Dance Factory. Like the Macon, Georgia made Spiller & Burr Revolvers these later made Dance Revolvers used earlier parts, from revolvers that failed government inspection. The following is part of a letter from John Sexton on this Dance .......
John Sexton
This Confederate Dance Revolver is truly stunning and similar example sold for nearly quarter million dollars. Others have brought or near two hundred thousand dollars. Confederate Revolvers are the pinnacle of Confederate Collecting. Here is an opportunity to own your own piece of American, Southern, and Confederate History. This .44 caliber example was patterned after the Colt Dragoon. The original grips and holster wear tell the story. This Dance Revolver was carried and used in the Fight for States Rights. It has survived in very good condition and in the top percentage of known examples. Enjoy the images and let one of them TEXAS SIZED Rebel Relics Yell LOOSE.
This Confederate Dance Revolver has a video on YOUTUBE. Feel free to reach out if you need more information. REBELR RELICS HOTLINE .... 615-7727008
