The Colt Police & Pocket Navy Conversion represents an important transitional step in American firearms history, when Colt adapted its famous percussion revolvers to the new metallic cartridge era. Produced in the 1861, these revolvers combined the trusted handling and balance of the Navy-size frame with the convenience of self-contained rimfire cartridges.

This example features a desirable 4.5" barrel, an engraved cylinder, and has been professionally refinished, giving it an attractive appearance while preserving the classic lines of Colt’s early cartridge revolvers. Chambered in .38 rimfire with a five-shot capacity, it incorporates the side loading gate and ejector rod system that became standard on later Colt revolvers.

Compact, historically significant, and representative of Colt’s early cartridge conversions, the Police & Pocket Navy Conversion remains a fascinating piece for collectors of Old West and early metallic cartridge revolvers.
