Description:
EXCEEDINGLY RARE NEW NAVY DA 6” BARREL REVOLVER IN .32-20 CALIBER! The New Army (.41 Colt caliber) and New Navy (.38 Colt caliber) revolvers were introduced in 1892 and made until about 1908 when it was replaced by the Army Special revolver. The earlier New Army/Navy revolvers are easily identified by their cylinders that revolve counter-clockwise and have the locking notches on the rear outside of the cylinder. This model is often referred to as a “Left-Wheeler” because of the counter-clockwise action. The .32-20 chambering was introduced at the very end of production in the 246000 serial number range in 1905. This example with # 292XXX is in the very last of the New Navy serial numbers. Again, the most common calibers were .41Colt and .38 Colt with .32-20 made in very limited numbers for only about three years. They are rarely seen now. This one turned up here in Montana and shows fine blue overall with only normal moderate holster/handling wear- back strap, extreme bottom of the trigger guard, thinning on the barrel sides, high edges etc. Fine grips that fit perfectly, fine action, nice fire blue on the trigger sides and hammer back, exc. markings including the last patent date of ’95 on the barrel top and ".32 W.C.F" (.32 Winchester Center Fire) on the left side of the barrel. Unaltered front sight, exc. bore. You could search for years and not find another .32-20 in this model. In fact, I think in 30+ years this is the first of these I’ve offered.
