Description:
Serial #198819, .36 caliber, 7 1/2" octagon barrel with a very good bore that has spots of mild freckling within the grooves, heaviest towards the breech. This is an 1866 manufactured, fourth type revolver that has all - matching numbers, including the wedge and cylinder arbor, with the barrel retaining 70 - 75% of the original bright blue that has mild freckling throughout and silvering along the edges and projections. There are some buff marks at the breech end and at the muzzle where heavier freckling was once cleaned and there are small peen marks on either side of the wedge (which has a very tight fit). The cylinder is mostly a mottled pewter gray with some freckling at the face and mild pinprick pitting around the nipples. The naval scene remains almost fully visible with a few faint areas here and there. The frame is likewise mostly a lightly freckled gray color but there are hints of the original color case � hardening still visible on the protected areas under the recoil shield. The triggerguard and gripstrap have a mostly pale yellow - ochre patina with some spots of dark tarnish scattered about and the walnut grips are very good - fine with lots of the original piano varnish remaining and only minor wear and handling marks. The lock - up is tight and the mechanism functions flawlessly. The revolver is housed in a period "Slim Jim" style, dark brown leather holster with belt that has flaked heavily but is still mostly intact (the tag - end of the belt is fragmented past the buckle). This is a fantastic Model 1851 Navy that has a lot of original finish remaining on the metal and is in fine overall condition. Antique
