Colt 1971 Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant Commemorative Black Powder Pistol Set.
Description:
The 1971 Colt Commemoratives, primarily featuring the U.S. Grant and Robert E. Lee 1851 Navy revolver sets, marked the start of Colt’s 2nd Generation Black Powder series. These .36 caliber percussion, single-action, 7.5-inch barrel revolvers are highly sought after by collectors for their quality, featuring cased, often silver-plated designs. The serial number for both guns is "1195."
Key 1971 Colt Commemorative Descriptions:

Robert E. Lee 1971 Commemorative: These revolvers, sometimes referred to as the "best of the best" by collectors, are identified by a "ROBERT E. LEE – NINETEEN SEVENTY ONE" stamp.
Common Characteristics: Both models typically come in a wooden display case, often with accessories like a bullet mold, flask, and cap tin, featuring a Naval battle scene on the cylinder.
