CIVIL WAR Antique COLT 1851 NAVY .36 Revolver
With Note of Provenance from 1959!
Here we present an antique Colt 1851 Navy Revolver, made in 1862 in Hartford, Connecticut. The 1851 Navy was one of Colt’s most famous and successful lines, reaching a production total of 257,348 from 1850 to 1873 (right up to the time of SAA production) from both Hartford and London factories. From Hartford alone, 185,000 were made by the end of the American Civil War. Many of these saw service during the conflict on both sides. There were some military purchases and lots of private purchases by soldiers going off to war. In addition, the Model 1851 was carried by Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and was a favorite of “Doc” Holliday and “Wild Bill” Hickok, who carried two of these most famously in his red sash.
This one comes with an old handwritten and signed letter dated March 21, 1959. It states the serial number of the revolver and confirms its characteristics. Interestingly, it tells the reader “First owned by Capt Simpson of the Pennsylvania volunteers, 1860. Used all thru Civil war. Has record of six victories. Above told to me by a former owner, related to the Captain, AP Goodman.” Signed by Jim Cellier.
This specimen is a good honest gun with an even patina. The water in the Battle of Campeche cylinder scene is still visible. Numbers match. Markings are clear. Bore is in nice shape with sharp rifling. The action is excellent.
