The Griswold & Gunnison Revolver is a very fine piece of work. They were one of quite a few Southern-made copies of the excellent .36 caliber Colt Model 1851 Navy Revolver. I don't have an original but I do have two copies of the Griswold & Gunnison that I am really proud of. The first is a reproduction by High Standard. It was made in about 1972 (I can't quite remember. I'll have to check again to make sure). I inherited it from my grandfather along with several other guns. When I got the gun it was in beautiful condition (it had barely been taken out of the box, although grandpa did handle and fire it a few times and of course cleaned it real good) and it still is. I don't shoot it too often anymore since it was my late grandfather's and is also pretty rare, but I do shoot it on occasion. The other one is a Pietta reproduction that I got for my birthday one year.
