This revolver was manufactured in 1852 and has the Third Model small, round trigger guard. It has a post front sight and "-ADDRESS SAML COLT NEW YORK CITY-" on the barrel, standard cylinder markings and roll scene, and the small "COLTS/PATENT" marking on the left side of the frame. The serial numbers match aside from the replaced wedge and the faded marking on the grip (appears original). Many of these pre-war Model 1851 Navy revolvers were carried by Confederate soldiers during the Civil War.
