Civil War Tribute LeMat "TO LIVE AND DIE" .44
Only 150 of these exquisite, hand-engraved Civil War Tribute LeMats were produced in this exclusive edition issued by America Remembers .Each Tribute is produced on LeMat revolvers produced by the gunsmiths of F.lli Pietta in Italy. They are the only maker of reproduction LeMat revolvers in the world, and they are known for the authenticity of the firearms they produce based on the classic originals. Each Civil War Tribute LeMat in this edition is meticulously hand-engraved by American firearms engravers with years of experience. The revolver incorporates the popular fleurs-de-lis and floral scrollwork with a punch dot background– popular with French engravers in the 1860s.The cylinder was done in a drum-style using a fleur-de-lis border, which is repeated around the breech of the grapeshot barrel and around the muzzle of both barrels. Floral scrollwork is also used to decorate the frame, the massive LeMat hammer, spur trigger guard, backstrap, and the shoulders of the grip frame as well as the grip butt plate. After being given a high polish, the entire gun is nickel plated to set off the depth and detail of the engraving that is often lost on blued guns. In addition, the Grapeshot barrel is embellished on both sides with crossed Confederate swords and the legend, “TO LIVE AND DIE IN DIXIE”.This Revolver is sold with its original display case and remains in excellent condition. Please see all of the photos.
