In the annals of antique firearm collecting the most elusive category has been Confederate Arms and most scarce was, of course, Confederate made revolvers. Only about 7,500 were manufactured during the entire war (Colt produced in excess of 20,000 revolvers sometimes in a single month). Through the years most collectors were satisfied to acquire any example of these rare pistols. In fact those in good condition were a considerable rarity. From the beginning, Mr. Bryan made a goal not to just put together a collection but to collect only the finest examples that could be had. Today Mr. Bryan’s Confederate revolver collection is the best in existence!! Indeed most of his revolvers represent the finest condition examples known. In some cases, his revolver is either the only one known to exist or one of only two or three in existence. His Texas Confederate revolvers are par excellence and the only complete set ever assembled. We at Julia’s are ex-tremely excited and also honored to be awarded this very special opportunity to present this truly extraordi-nary collection. The Bryan Collection of superb Confederate arms will be a once in a lifetime opportunity for serious collectors to acquire the best of the best. Visit us at the Vegas gun show for sampling of his historic offering.
