Lot Description
Post Civil War Colt Model 1851 Navy Revolver

.36 caliber. 7.5" octagonal barrel. SN: 204411 (mfg. ca1867). Blued and color casehardened finish with silver-plated brass backstrap and triggerguard, and one-piece varnished walnut grip. Single action percussion revolver with six-chambered smooth, round cylinder. Barrel roll marked in a single line: - ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA -.  Lower left of frame with two-line COLT'S/PATENT marking, left rear web of triggerguard marked 36 CAL and cylinder with traditional Texas and Mexican Navy engagement roll-engraved scene and marked COLT'S PATENT No 4411. Matching numbers throughout including the wedge and in the backstrap cut out of the grip. The revolver includes the less commonly encountered factory German silver blade front sight, instead of the more common brass post. Overall a very nice example of a post-Civil War period civilian Colt Navy that remains fairly crisp with some nice blue on the barrel.
