Le revolver TRANTER
Jeu 31 Déc - 18:26
J'ai choisi comme avatar "Tranter" car l'on m'a fait cadeau lorsque j'avais une douzaine d'année de ce revolver qui traînait sur un établi parmi les limes et les marteaux !!!!
Je pense qu'il est à l'origine de mon addiction pour les armes et en particulier celles de l'Ouest américain
Ce revolver est un 4 th Model double action en calibre 44, année de fabrication 1860 est l'oeuvre d'un armurier anglais, William Tranter (1816-January 7, 1890)
Il a été utilisé pendant la "Civil War" et a été offert à Jeb STUART par l'un de ses officiers
Jeb Stuart’s pistol
This English-made, cased Tranter revolver was given to Confederate Major General James Ewell Brown “Jeb” Stuart by Heros von Borcke. Von Borcke was a Prussian officer who took leave from his country’s services to serve in the American Civil War. He served as Stuart’s chief of staff, with the rank of major, until he was seriously wounded at Middleburg, Virginia, in June 1863. That same month, von Borcke gave this revolver to Stuart, in the expectation that Stuart would have attained the rank of lieutenant general. Stuart had hopes of receiving this rank after commanding “Stonewall” Jackson’s corps when that officer was mortally wounded during the battle of Chancellorsville. Unfortunately he never obtained that rank, but the inscription on the cover of the cased revolver states: “LT. GEN J.E.B. STUART C.S.A. CULPEPPER, VA JUNE 1863/ FROM HEROS VON BORCKE.”
