CIVIL WAR Antique COLT 1851 NAVY Revolver
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique COLT 1851 NAVY Revolver Made During the Civil War 1863 Here we present an antique Colt 1851 Navy Revolver, made in 1863, in Hartford, Connecticut. The 1851 Navy was one of Colt’s most famous and successful lines, reaching a production total of 257,348 from 1850 to 1873 (right up to the time of SAA production) from both Hartford and London factories. From Hartford alone, 185,000 were made by the end of the American Civil War. Many of these saw service during the conflict on both sides. There were some military purchases and lots of private purchases by soldiers going off to war. In addition, the Model 1851 was a favorite of “Wild Bill” Hickok, who carried two of these most famously in his red sash. The cylinder roll engraving on the 1851 Navy features a scene from the Battle of Campeche executed by American engraver Waterman Ormsby. The engraving pays homage to Texas in their fight with the Mexican government for independence. During this particular battle, the Mexican Navy wielded two ironclad steamers, while the Texans were armed with a variety of wooden ships, led by Commodore Edwin Moore. The scene also appears on the cylinders of the Colt 1860 Army and 1861 Navy Revolvers. This specimen is in very good condition. The metal has a nice aged patina. Some case colors still visible on the loading lever. The markings are clear and legible. The cylinder scene is partially visible. Serial numbers match. The original walnut grips are well-used and solid. The bore is very good, with strong rifling. The action is functional. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 7-1/2 inches in length. Caliber: .36 percussion The bore is in very good condition, and the firing mechanism is functional. Overall condition as seen in photos. Here is a very nice Civil War production Colt 1851 Navy Revolver for your collection. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1800 #21888 SOLD Antique: Yes |
