I suspect most are sold as wall hanger display pieces. They are not authentic and they are not typical of Confederate revolvers. There was only 1 known Confederate revolver that used a bronze like material , similar to the alloy Henry and Winchester used.
I actually bent/distorted a brass framed Remington-type revolver trying to ram a ball on top of too much powder.
Modern muzzle-loading plains or so-called Hawkens rifles as they are generically called have lots of brass , but the originals did not. They used iron or low grade steel furniture. They were working rifles meant for hard use.
