Antique COLT M1851 Navy RICHARDS-MASON Conversion .38 Caliber Revolver
Scarce, Early Metallic Cartridge Colt
Here we present an antique Colt Model 1851 Navy Revolver with a rare Richards-Mason Conversion. This original percussion revolver was subsequently returned to the Colt factory for the Richards-Mason Conversion circa the mid-1870s, which made it possible to use cartridges, since the Smith & Wesson held Rollin White Patent had run out. This conversion was a good and successful one, but did go head to head against Colt’s own Single Action Army, leading to relatively small numbers of Colt’s older percussion line being converted. The advantage with the conversion was, of course, low cost.
This one has certainly the well-used look to it. Much of the corners on the barrel have been rounded off with use. Dark, even patina. Bit of movement between barrel and frame. The action remains strong. The bore is dim (patinaed, non-reflective) with strong rifling. The grip appears to be from a Single Action Army and bears the inspector initials of Rinaldo A. Carr. It is solid and has been thoroughly hand-checkered.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 4-5/8 inches.
Caliber: .38 Colt (Centerfire)
