Invented in 1856 by Dr. J.A.F. LeMat of New Orleans and manufactured in Paris, France, and Birhamingham, England. The Lemat was a favorite sidearm of Confederate Generals Jeb Stuart and P.G.T. Beauregard. A single .20 gauge shotgun barrel under the .44 caliber barrel makes the Lemat a unique firearm. Grips are checkered two piece European walnut. Metal parts are richly blued. The octagonal rifled barrel is 6 3/4" long. It is rifled with 7 lands and grooves. Dove tailed front sight and rear sight located on the hammer nose. Located beneath the rifled revolver barrel is a single .20 gauge smoothbore barrel. The hammer nose is rotated downard to strike a nipple for the smoothbore barrel. The revolver uses #11 caps. The cylinder is 9 shot .44 caliber. Hammer is color case hardened as is the trigger. Original "COL. LEMAT" markings are present on the barrel. Made in Italy by Pietta.
