I have come to own a Starr Army revolver that has the name "S. Cooper" and the town "Fillmore MO" marked on the bottom of the grips, and the initials SC on the side of the grip. In checking I found a couple of men that I think it might be ... either Sam Cooper or Spencer Cooper. I do not think it was Spencer since he was discharged from the 7th & 3rd MSM Cavalry in November of 1862. I do not think that the Starrs were issued until 1863.
It looks like Sam served in the 5th and 12th MSM Cavalry.. It looks like he may have also served in Company B of the Andrew County Battalion of the EMM.
Is there any listing of which regiments might have been issued the Starr revolvers?
Also how might I find the town that Sam Cooper was residing in during his enlistment?
