U.S. N. Inspected Colt Model 1861 Navy Centerfire Conversion Revolver

Factory converted U.S. Colt Model 1861 percussion revolver to be used with centerfire cartridges. Has the one line New York barrel address (traces remain), two line patent dates on left side of frame, "36 CAL" on left trigger guard shoulder, and navy scene on the cylinder. The underside of the barrel has U.S. Navy markings: "R.W.M.[anchor]." Matching numbers on barrel, frame, grip straps, loading gate and cylinder. Fitted with a smooth walnut grip.

ConditionVery good plus. Overall the revolver has a smooth gray patina with 20% of original blue finish remaining on the barrel (mostly at the breech) and a similar amount of original case colors remaining on the frame. The brass has a polished appearance with numerous dings on the butt. The grip is very good with a series of minor pressure dents on the bottom, a repaired chip near the frame (left side), a minor chip missing near the bottom (right side), and a sliver of wood missing near the back strap (left side), along with some minor handling marks. Mechanically functions but is missing half-cock notch in hammer.
