Colt Model 1851 Navy Percussion Revolver

Manufactured in 1866. The barrel has the one-line New York address, the frame has "COLTS/PATENT" marked on the left side, the trigger guard has "36 CAL" marked on the left side, and the cylinder has the naval battle scene. Matching serial numbers are found on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, back strap, cylinder, and arbor pin. The wedge and loading lever are unnumbered.

ConditionVery good plus. 25% original blue finish remains on the barrel and traces of original case colors remain in the protected areas, otherwise the revolver has a mottled brown patina. Most of the original cylinder scene remains. The grip straps have generous traces of original silver plating in the protected areas. The revarnished grip is good with an illegible handwritten marking (left side), a few moderate dings and a filled repair on the bottom, and high edge wear. Mechanically excellent.
