If I had been a Civil War Cavalry Trooper, I'd have had 2 of these in 36 caliber in my pommel-holsters, one in my belt and others stashed about my person. With 4 of these in 36 caliber, a soldier would have close to 50 shots before he ran empty. What some people fail to note about these pocket sized guns is that they were made by New Haven Arms along-side the famed Henry Rifle. Each draw of the hammers (2-hammers) allowed for pulling of the trigger twice, firing 2 separate shots. And they worked! One company of the 9th Michigan armed themselves with these pockets. This one is in very good condition with strong action, edges, and markings. The left grip panel is cracked. A great little gun in smooth light brown/gray patina.
