Kerr's Patent Revolver was an unusual 5-shot single-action revolver manufactured from 1859 to 1866 by the London Armoury Company. It was used by Confederate cavalrymen during the U.S. Civil War. It is easily recognized by its side-mounted hammer.

For killing bodies, and for saving souls,
All propagated with the best intentions.”
