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.

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.
