1896 mfr. COLT Model 1895 NEW ARMY/NAVY .41 Double Action REVOLVER Antique
First Double Action Swing Out Cylinder Used by the US Military!
Here we present an antique Colt Model 1895 New Army & Navy Double Action Revolver, made in 1896 by the Colt Manufacturing Company with a production run from 1892 through 1907 in Hartford, Connecticut. This would be a variant of the initial Model 1892. Learning all the different models of New Army & Navy DA Revolvers Colt introduced from 1892 up to 1907 can be quite confusing. The M1892 Colt Army and Navy was the first general issue double action revolver with a swing out cylinder used by the US military. In 1892 the gun was adopted by the Army in .38 Long Colt caliber, and the revolver was given the name of New Army and Navy. Initial experience with the gun caused officials to request some improvements. This would be an ongoing condition, resulting in Models 1892, 1894, 1895, 1896, 1901, and 1903.
A Model 1892 revolver was recovered from the USS Maine after it exploded in Havana Harbor in 1898. It was presented to then-Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt, who would later become President of the United States. Roosevelt brandished this pistol to rally his Rough Riders during the famed charge up San Juan Hill on July 1, 1898.
By the time production ceased in 1907 (the gun would be kept in the government inventory for several years after that) more than a quarter of a million versions of the Army & Navy had been made. Not a bad track record for an arm that many consider something of a failure.
The overall condition is near fine. Original blued finish. Strong and tight action. Very good bore, clean with nice rifling. Both trademarked grips are seated firmly with minimal wear. The numbers match. A very nice piece and very scarce!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 6 inches.
Caliber: .41 Colt
