1872 Antique OLD WEST/Frontier COLT M1851 .36 NAVY Revolver NAVAL SCENE
1872 Manufactured WILD WEST Single Action Revolver
Description: 1872 Antique OLD WEST/Frontier COLT M1851 .36 NAVY Revolver NAVAL SCENE 1872 Manufactured WILD WEST Single Action Revolver Here we present an antique Colt 1851 Navy Revolver, made in 1872 in Hartford, Connecticut. The 1851 Navy was one of Colt’s most famous and successful lines, reaching a production total of 257,348 from 1850 to 1873 (right up to the time of SAA production) from both Hartford and London factories. From Hartford alone, 185,000 were made by the end of the American Civil War. Many of these saw service during the conflict on both sides. There were some military purchases and lots of private purchases by soldiers going off to war. In addition, the Model 1851 was carried by Confederate General Robert E. Lee and was a favorite of “Doc” Holliday and “Wild Bill” Hickok, who carried two of these most famously in his red sash. The Colt Navy was the first popular single-action revolver that could be worn comfortably on the belt. Prior to the beginning of the Civil War, the state of Missouri was a hotbed of trouble that often broke out in shooting fights. Bill Anderson, Jesse and Frank James, and the Youngers all cut their teeth on this border trouble and were ready to go when leaders like William Quantrill enlisted them in his guerilla band during the war. The boys from Missouri became quite proficient with their six-guns and generally carried a brace of Dragoons on their saddle pommels and a brace of Navy revolvers on their hip. The action functions, but the cylinder does not lock up. Good bore for its age. All numbers are mixed. The barrel wedge is missing. Markings are legible. A crack is present on the right side of the grip, and a cartouche remnant can be found on each side. Light remnants of the cylinder scene are visible. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 7-1/2 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! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1500 #233655 SOLD Antique: Yes |
