Description:
The Colt Navy was produced in London only four years, 1853-1856. Total production was about 42,000, and this one was manufactured in 1855. This Colt has the matching serial number 34366 on barrel, frame, trigger guard, backstrap, cylinder, rammer, wedge, and arbor pin. The numbers on frame, rammer, wedge, and arbor pin are bold, while the others are quite weak. The backstrap number is interrupted by a light patch of pitting. The London barrel address is distinct as is “Colts Patent” on the frame. Of course the British proof marks are all present in the correct places on barrel and cylinder. No cylinder scene remains, but the cylinder surface is generally smooth with no battered places. The nipples appear to be original. The cylinder lock slots are deep with sharp edges, not rounded or battered from abuse.
The walnut grips are original, but toe chips have been repaired with spliced walnut on both sides. Some internal parts are missing, including the trigger and lock bolt.
The bore has strong lands and grooves, with the expected even distribution of very light pitting. It has been recently scrubbed clean, with grease applied to preserve the bore. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would call this one an 8 bore condition. The brass pin front sight is present as is the normal sighting groove on hammer. The barrel fits tight against the frame with wedge in place, and there is no wiggle. Also the rammer does not wiggle in its barrel slot, indicating that this gun saw relatively light use.
