The Pocket Navy is one of the scarcer of the Colt percussion revolvers with fewer than 22,000 made, and many of these were converted to or manufactured as cartridge revolvers. This pair of Pocket Navies have 5.5"" octagon barrels with excellent bores that appear to be unfired. They are .36 caliber with 5-shot cylinders, and have Model 1851 Navy style hinged loading levers. Both have ""ADDRESS COL SAML COLT NEW-YORK US AMERICA"" barrel markings. They both have L-serial numbers which were used for guns designated for the English market. They both have Victorian English proofs on the barrel frame and on each cylinder chamber. Pocket Navy serial number 13636L has approx. 98% blue including the grip straps and trigger guard. The frame has strong case colors. The cylinder, which is numbered to the gun, has an excellent scene. The varnished walnut grips are excellent with no chips or cracks.
