Manufactured by the Savage Revolving Fire Arms Co. of Middletown, Connecticut c. 1861 to the mid-1860s. Of the 20,000 Savage Navy revolvers manufactured between 1861-1865, the Ordnance Department purchased 11,984. Features a heart shaped trigger guard with round cocking lever, off-set hammer, six-shot gas-sealing cylinder, octagon barrel, and hinged loading lever. The top strap is roll-stamped with the standard three-line Savage address and patent dates. The serial number is marked on the right side of the grip frame, with an illegible faded number handwritten in pencil on the interior of the right grip panel and an "H" inspection stamp on the bottom surface.

Fine, retains 50% plus original bright blue finish with smooth gray patina and scattered light brown freckling on the balance, with strong patterns of case colors visible on the loading lever and hammer. Grips are very fine with some scattered minor handling marks, and defined edges. Mechanically excellent.
