Wood revolver, 9.25" long, made from different pieces of wood from actual parts of the Gettysburg Battlefield. Souvenir gun dates to the 1880s, where these guns were sold in relic shops, and was likely issued for the 20th Anniversary of the battle. Ink-stamped on top of barrel "Little Round Top, July 1, 2, 3 1863". The bullet chamber is stamped "Devil's Den, Wheatfield, Gettysburg". The ejector is stamped "Big Round Top" and the barrel is stamped "Culp's Hill". The piece has "499" at the base of the handle, likely a museum number. There is a 1/4" chip at the rear of the trigger guard. Hakes sold a similar gun for $257 in 2013.
