Civil War Era Colt Model 1851 Navy Percussion Revolver

Manufactured in 1860 with standard markings and features including matching numbers on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, back strap (partially ground away), loading lever, arbor pin, cylinder, and wedge. Many of the commercial Colt revolvers produced before and during the Civil War were used as privately purchased sidearms.

ConditionFine, retains 30% plus of the original blue finish, 70% of the original case colors on the hammer and loading lever, the frame shows patterns of case colors, and 85% of the original attractively patinated silver plating with the balance mostly a smooth grey patina. The grip is also fine with minor dings and scratches throughout, a couple minor absent chips in the toe, and a moderate divot near the front strap. Mechanically excellent. A fine representative example of a Colt Model 1851 Navy from the Civil War Era!
