FIRST YEAR Civil War Antique Colt 61 NAVY Revolver
Description: FIRST YEAR Civil War Antique Colt 61 NAVY Revolver With Texan Independence Battle of Campeche Scene Here we present an antique Colt 1861 Navy Percussion Revolver, made in 1861, during the American Civil War. The introduction of the 1861 Navy was simply an update to the very successful 1851 Navy, with the primary differences being the round barrel instead of octagonal, and the addition of the creeping style of loading lever. These updates made for a sleek package that very much resembled Colt’s crowning achievement, the 1860 Army. The 1861 Navy still retained its .36 caliber, making this the preferred firearm for many not wanting to step up to a .44 like the Army, while still sharing most of its dimensions. The Colt 1861 Navy was formally adopted by the Union government and was used by both the Army and the Navy. Many of those sold to the military were never martially inspected or marked. Of course, there was a healthy commercial market for these during the war, and many soldiers privately purchased these revolvers as well. In a slightly smaller and lighter package than its 1860 Army big brother, many soldiers and cavalry preferred the Navy in .36 caliber. Of course, these weapons continued to be used well after the Civil War, especially during Westward Expansion. This example is of first year production with a four digit serial number. Only 38,000 of these were produced from 1861-73. It features a roll engraved cylinder scene of the naval Battle of Campeche, with the Texans victorious over the Mexican Navy after their declaration of independence. The scene was engraved by Waterman Ormsby. The overall condition of this revolver is good. The patina is dark. The markings are clear and legible. All serial numbers match and are of first year production. The walnut grips are in very good condition. The action is functional, but the hammer does not currently hold full cock. The bore is in good condition. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 7-1/2 inches in length. Caliber: .36 percussion The bore is in good condition and the action is functional, but the hammer does not hold full cock. Overall condition as seen in photos. Here is yet another scarce Colt revolver, a first year production, for your collection. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1200 #21683 SOLD Antique: Yes |
