LeMat Revolver, original cap & ball model, used by Confederate States troops in the American Civil War. When war broke out, LeMat received Confederate contracts to produce 5,000 revolvers, and plans were laid to manufacture the gun abroad and then import them into the Confederacy, which lacked the necessary facilities to produce the weapon locally.
The company eventually complied, and the Union acquired 25,000 of the single-action revolvers for $12 each (equivalent to $297 in 2023). However, the price paid by the government for the DA army revolver was $25. [4] The State of Ohio purchased 500 of the .36 Caliber Navy version for $20 each. [5]
