Description:
Antique J. M. COOPER Double Action NAVY Revolver

Early Double Action Colt 1849-like Percussion Revolver

Here we present an antique J.M. Cooper Double Action Navy Revolver, made circa 1864 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 very good. The iron parts have a dark gray patina. The markings are clear. The numbers match with the exception of the barrel wedge. The walnut grips bear the original varnish and are in great shape. The bore is dark and dusty with strong rifling. The mechanism is only functional in double action. Here is a great example of a double action alternative to Colts and S&Ws of the period!
