Available in Sarasota, Florida, this antique Starr Model 1863 Single Action Army revolver is a historically significant Civil War-era sidearm associated with U.S. military production from 1863–1865. Originally manufactured as a .44 percussion revolver, this example appears to have been converted for metallic cartridge use, reflecting the post-Civil War transition period when many percussion arms were adapted for continued civilian, frontier, or militia use.
Collectors in Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, and the surrounding Gulf Coast will appreciate the correct Starr Arms markings, wartime serial range, single-action configuration, and authentic age. Final value should be confirmed through matching serial numbers, inspection marks, bore condition, conversion details, and any available provenance.
