Description:


The 1971 Colt Commemoratives, primarily featuring the U.S. Grant and Robert E. Lee 1851 Navy revolver sets, marked the start of Colt’s 2nd Generation Black Powder series. These .36 caliber percussion, single-action, 7.5-inch barrel revolvers are highly sought after by collectors for their quality, featuring cased, often silver-plated designs.  The serial number for both guns is  "1195."

Key 1971 Colt Commemorative Descriptions:
  • Ulysses S. Grant 1971 Commemorative: These revolvers often feature a blued finish, case-colored frame, and silver-plated trigger guard and backstrap. The barrel is typically stamped "ULYSSES S GRANT COMMEMORATIVE 1971".
  • Robert E. Lee 1971 Commemorative: These revolvers, sometimes referred to as the "best of the best" by collectors, are identified by a "ROBERT E. LEE – NINETEEN SEVENTY ONE" stamp.
  • Common Characteristics: Both models typically come in a wooden display case, often with accessories like a bullet mold, flask, and cap tin, featuring a Naval battle scene on the cylinder.
  • Condition and Value: Many of these pistols were sold as collectors' items and often remain in new or near-new condition, featuring 99% of their original finish, making them prized for their 2nd generation craftsmanship. 
These revolvers are distinct from other 1971 offerings, such as the NRA Centennial Commemorative SAA. 

The Lee Commemorartive is missing the small percussion cap box that somehow managed to turn up missing,
