Colt Model 1851 Navy Percussion Revolver ... CIVIL WAR ...


Description:
LAYAWAY?.... serial #12127, .36 cal, 7 1/2” octagon barrel with a mostly bright very good plus bore showing some light pitting and oxidation in the grooves and otherwise strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this early production 1852-made revolver retain about 90% of a reapplied commercial polished blue showing some mild high edge wear, a few smoothed-over pinprick pits here and there and the barrel taking on a deep plum patina. The hammer shows a bit more old oxidation and some light pitting and the backstrap and triggerguard are a mild goldenrod patina. The barrel retains strong New York address along with small “COLTS PATENT” stamp on the frame.

The cylinder also retains strong “COLTS PATENT” marking though the scene is mostly lost due to the refinishing. The smooth walnut grip is properly ink-numbered matching the frame along the backstrap inlet and remains in very fine condition with nice antique varnish and some scattered light dings. The wedge screw is a later replacement and the serialized parts are matching including the wedge. A couple of the cylinder safety pins are largely intact and the action seems to function well mechanically with a crisp hammer and very good timing and lock-up. A very good early Colt Navy refinished some time ago.
