Antiqued Replica CIVIL WAR & WILD WEST COLT 1861 U.S.N. Conversion Revolver
.38 Colt Navy Open Top 6-Shooter
Here we present an Antiqued Replica Colt 1861 Navy Percussion Revolver. The originals were manufactured in 1861 at the start of the American Civil War as percussion guns and then converted in the early 1870s. The introduction of the 1861 Navy was simply an update to the very successful 1851 Navy, with the primary differences being the round barrel instead of octagonal, and the addition of the creeping style of loading lever. These updates made for a sleek package that very much resembled Colt’s crowning achievement, the 1860 Army. The 1861 Navy still retained its .36 caliber, making this the preferred firearm for many not wanting to step up to a .44 like the Army, while still sharing most of its dimensions.
The Colt 1861 Navy was formally adopted by the Union government and was used by both the Army and the Navy. Many of those sold to the military were never martially inspected or marked. Of course, there was a healthy commercial market for these during the war, and many soldiers privately purchased these revolvers as well. In a slightly smaller and lighter package than its 1860 Army big brother, many soldiers and cavalry preferred the Navy in .36 caliber. Of course, these weapons continued to be used well after the Civil War, especially during Westward Expansion.
The overall condition is near fine. Excellent action. Bright bore. The grip is in good shape with an expected amount of wear. “U.S.N.” stamped on the butt. Numbers match. A gun that looks the part as a stand in for the real and rare Model 1861 Navy Conversion Colt!
Barrel is 7-1/2 inches.
Caliber: .38 Colt Centerfire
Overall condition as seen in photos.
