The Colt "Revolving Belt Pistol of Naval Caliber" was designed between 1847-1850 and was initially called the Ranger Model, with 215,348 reportedly manufactured between 1850-1873, per "Flayderman's Guide" (9th Edition, 5B-050 through 5B-061). The revolver has the late Fourth Model features, which include large oval trigger guard, capping channel in the recoil shield cut-out and thick loading lever latch. It has a brass cone front sight, the one-line New York address on the top of the barrel, "COLTS/PATENT" on the left side of the frame, "36 CAL" on the left side of the trigger guard, and the standard Naval Battle of Campeche cylinder scene.
