Description:
#4893 Colt 1851 (U.S. Army) Navy revolver, 7-1/2”x36cal percussion, 67XXX range (c,1856), matching except for the period replaced wedge. Martially marked with the “U.S” beneath the COLTS PATENT stamping …and being as it has brass straps, it was most likely issued to the Cavalry (the iron strapped guns were generally issued to Naval units). Smooth even dark grey-brown patina with about 70-75% light cylinder scene and VG markings elsewhere. Action is smooth and timing is very good; bore is dark and dirty but should clean to be an average black powder bore (5-6 on a scale of 10). Original wood grips show average wear to the lower rim areas and thus the grip cartouches are dim, especially on the left side. The rammer has a slightly different patina, so it was either cleaned and rebrowned or it could’ve been replaced. Overall, just a good example of a military purchased pre-Civil War era revolver that most likely was issued and used throughout the entire Civil War. About VG as described $2475
