Description:
The tale of the 2nd Generation Colt black powder line actually began in the late 1950s with Val Forgett, founder of Navy Arms, and Italian gunmakers Vittorio Gregorelli and Aldo Uberti. They chose the Colt 1851 Navy as the first percussion revolver to be reproduced in Italy in 1958.
After a dozen years and thousands of Colt reproductions, the success of the Italian-made '51 Navy -- which Aldo Uberti frequently supplied to filmmaker Sergio Lione and Clint Eastwood for early spaghetti westerns -- had finally come to the attention of the company that invented it. Colt could never have brought back the 1851 Navy had it not been for Forgett, Uberti. This Second Generation Colt 1851 Navy Square-back Trigger Guard that was produced by Colt and is identical in every respect to the original First Generation gun.
It has never been fired and comes with this attractive dove-tailed case, a Colt-style flask and a box of ELEY BROS caps. .36 cal., 7 1/2" octagon barrel, case-hardened frame, loading lever, plunger, and hammer, silver plated back-strap and square-back trigger guard, one-piece walnut grips, and blued barrel and cylinder with engraved naval battle scene.
The number of this gun is 17752. This is a beautiful revolver, with correct markings and stunning finish. The Silver back strap and trigger guard is bright and untarnished. The oil-finished dark walnut grips are a cut-above what is usually found on these revolvers. Also included is bullet mold and capper along with the original paper work. This 2nd Generation model was produced in the early '70s. This gun is worthy of any collection.
