Manufactured at Colt's London factory in 1855. Colt's Model 1851 Navy revolver proved to be very popular in the U.K. initially following the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. Features the large oval steel trigger guard, steel back strap, wide cylinder nipple cut-outs, bordered knurling on the hammer spur, and round head frame and trigger guard screws that are typical of Colt London Navy revolvers. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped "-ADDRESS COL. COLT LONDON-" and London "Crown/GP" and "Crown/V" proof and inspection marks are stamped on the left side of the barrel lug and alternating between each nipple on the cylinder. All matching visible serial numbers, with an unnumbered wedge.

Fine, retains 60% plus original blue finish concentrated on the barrel, a distinct cylinder scene, and 30% of the original case colors with scattered light handling marks, and smooth brown patina and freckling on the balance. Grip is very fine with most of the original varnish finish, scattered light scratches and handling marks, with defined edges. Mechanically excellent.
