Antique COOPER FIREARMS Co. Double Action NAVY Model .36 Cal PERC. Revolver CIVIL WAR ERA Revolver with “ISSAC L. CLARKE” HOLSTER
Description: Antique COOPER FIREARMS Co. Double Action NAVY Model .36 Cal PERC. Revolver CIVIL WAR ERA Revolver with “ISSAC L. CLARKE” HOLSTER Here we present an antique J.M. Cooper Firearms Co. Double Action Navy Revolver, made circa 1867 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a production run between 1864 and 1869. During a time of rapid innovation in firearms technology and an insatiable market due to rapid expansion and the American Civil War, dozens of makers seized their opportunity to put their ideas on the market. The J.M. Cooper Double Action Revolver took the concept of the Colt 1849 Pocket Model and improved it by giving it a double action firing mechanism, resulting in their own “Pocket” model. This is an example of a slightly larger, .36 caliber revolver, probably inspired to try to obtain U.S. Military contracts. Only about 15,000 of these Navy Models were made during its production run. Despite its formal name involving “Navy”, the Cooper Double Action Navy received the generic name “Navy” from the Colt standard for .36 caliber revolvers evolving from the original Colt Model 1851 Navy. The overall condition is good. The action functions properly. The bore is in good shape for its age. Good grip. Legible markings. Visible numbers match. The holster is good and the flap is marked “ISSAC L. CLARKE”. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 4 inches. Caliber: .36 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail!
