FIRST YEAR Production COLT Model 1851 NAVY .36 Caliber Percussion Revolver
With SQUARE BACK TRIGGER GUARD!
Here we present a first-year production antique Colt 1851 Navy Revolver, made in 1850 in Hartford, Connecticut. This antique percussion Navy is equipped with the square back trigger guard, which only came on the first model and the second model 1851 Navy revolver. With over a quarter of a million 1851s produced, only 4,200 squarebacks were made, making this a very rare and sought after gun. The barrel address is a single line New York City address that is correct for the serial number.
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.
The overall condition is very good. Excellent action. The bore is reflective of light with strong rifling. Legible markings. Numbers match. This example sports a solid grip walnut that has been lightly refinished.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 7-1/2 inches.
