A fairly good condition Whitney navy historically inscribed in the trigger-guard "A. LaParch". We searched everywhere. There's only one and he was from Maryland and black. I couldn't find any Civil War service but the possibility is promising. Well worth the money and effort to research. The gun was well worn and put up wet with a broken and repaired hammer spur. Where else can you find a Civil War Navy sized revolver with a historical inscription at this price?
