Description:
Excellent working looks like an 1862 Navy 36 cal, as the left side of the trigger guard is marked .36 cal. now converted to .38 rim, with a 4 1/2" octagonal barrel much blue remaining, and the barrel has raised speckles from storage, and a readable Colt address. Action is crips, and the original grips have much surface finish but wear to the bottom edges from being carried in a holster.. These were originally percussion pistols,  converted in the 1870's and most were nickle plated at that time.Serial match.. All serial number are 17786, except the trigger guard is 17736 a mistake at the factory..?Very clean patent dates on the left side of the frame. Barrel has a brass bead front sigth which is correct..Overall an interesting revolvler from the Western Americana days! Check my inventory of rare grips, unusual gun parts, barrels and holsters. Shipping may be higher than stated as shippers raise their prices twice  year without notice! When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith  before  shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost.   We don’t have a web  site .I prefer money orders or a check.  Item ships when funds come in. If you can only pay with a card let me know. I try to keep guns  affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of  older guns If you attempt to buy,  you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed.  Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only.  I’m easy to get along with. Thank You.
