Revolvers were used inthe civil war in invented by Colt. the revolvers shot multiple bullets at a time wwhich was what the civil war needed because if they keeps shooting one bullet at a time the war would last longer and the chanhces of wininig would have been different.

Shooting and possibly killing just like any other gun.
The Lemat Revolver was designed before the civil war for the US Army, however it was used in limited quantity by the Confederacy. Less than 3000 are known to have been produced.
A U.S. revolver from the civil war can go for as much as $2000
it was a secondary side arm for cavalry troops and officers................
The Colt Revolver of the Civil War was quite accurate, but only for its time. It could hit a target at about 50 feet but beyond that, the accuracy fell of quickly.
The repeating rifle, the revolver, the Gatling gun, the breech loaded cannon, the breech loaded carbine (such as the Sharps).
is it an original civil war pistol or a modern re-production ???
Chloroform was used to as an anesthesia during the Civil War.
Drums were used in the American Civil war, to show that the war had begun.
It had two different caliber barrels on the same frame.
there were no planes at all used in the civil war :)
Both sides in the US civil War used cannons.
You will need to provide a solid, undisputable provenance as to the Civil War use. If you can, it adds quite a bit to the price. You will need to seek the services of a professional. I would recommend Supica and Nahas. Value can range from 200-7000 USD depending on condition, variation, accessories. That would be before the Civil War connection.
