z Sold ~ J. P. Lower revolver Civil War era

These pistols were actually produced from 1861 through 1865 by William Uhlinger of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They are a direct patent infringement of the Smith & Wesson Rollin-White patent. In order to disguise their origin, Uhlinger stamped various markings on top of the barrels, one of which was J. P. Lower.  I don't see many of these guns but they were no doubt bought and carried into the Civil War and are often found in the south. It has the usually missing ejector rod.. It is functioning properly. Have a very strong rifled bore. Finish is mostly blue/gray.
