Circa 1865 Antique COOPER Double Action NAVY Revolver

Description:

Circa 1865 Antique COOPER Double Action NAVY Revolver

Here we present an antique J.M. Cooper Double Action Navy Revolver, made circa 1865 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During a time of rapid innovation in firearms technology and an insatiable market due to rapid expansion and the American Civil War, dozens of makers seized their opportunity to put their ideas on the market. The J.M. Cooper Double Action Revolver took the concept of the Colt 1849 Pocket Model and improved it by giving it a double action firing mechanism, resulting in their own “Pocket” model. This is an example of a slightly larger, .36 caliber revolver, probably inspired to try to obtain Naval contracts. Only about 15,000 of these Navy Models were made from 1864 to 1869.

The overall condition is good. There are traces of the original blue finish with the majority of the surfaces having a nice, dark patina. The markings are clear and legible. The serial numbers match. The bore is in good condition. The action is strong. Here is a great example of a double action alternative to Colts and S&Ws of the period!

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 5 inches.
