Most of those brass frame replicas were sold as "Confederate" but only a few were actually made as copies of brass-frame Civil War revolvers.*
Brass frames and trigger guards clean up well with ordinary brass or silver polish or polishing cloths.
*Some Confederate makers used brass since they did not have the industrial establishments of the northern makers, and brass was easier to make by casting and easier to machine. With black powder, brass (or bronze) is fairly durable and able to stand up to a reasonable amount of shooting.
