This Colt Model 1861 Navy revolver was manufactured near the end of production in 1873. It is number 37765 of just 38,843 '61 Navies manufactured in 1861-1873. Aside from the special nickel plated finish, the exterior markings and features are standard, including all matching serial numbers (wedge blank, grip correctly marked "7765" in black ink). The unique stamping on this specific revolver is "B"/?/"N" stamped on the interior face of the recoil shield, obviously denoting nickel.

Very fine with 90% plus original nickel plating, some flaking mainly at the muzzle, light scratches and marks, and light handling and handling wear. The revarnished grip is very good and has minor handling wear, light edge wear, and a small chip at the toe on the right. Mechanically excellent.
