<p class="ql-block"> 柯尔特 1862 型警用左轮手枪</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">这把手枪华丽的黄铜握把上雕刻着一个女性形象，象征着基督教和正义。约翰·昆西·亚当斯·沃德为亚伯拉罕·林肯总统于 1864 年赠送给阿德里安堡（今土耳其埃迪尔内）总督的一对手枪制作了握把的原始模型。这里展示的手枪握把可能是在那之后不久用同一个模具铸造的。沃德当时名不见经传，但很快就成为美国最著名的雕塑家之一。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">The ornate brass grip of this pistol features a female figure representing Christianity and Justice. John Quincy Adams Ward created the original model of the grip for a pair of pistols presented by President Abraham Lincoln to the governor of Adrianople (present-day Edirne, Turkey) in 1864. The grip of the pistol displayed here was probably cast from the same mold shortly after that. Ward was relatively unknown at the time, but soon became one of America's most celebrated sculptors.__________________</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">paper</p>
