CIVIL WAR Antique COLT Model 1851 NAVY Revolver
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique COLT Model 1851 NAVY Revolver Made During the Civil War in 1863 w Ivory Grips Here we present an antique Colt 1851 Navy Revolver, made in 1863, 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 a favorite of “Wild Bill” Hickok, who carried two of these most famously in his red sash. The top of the barrel reads “—ADDRESS COL. SAML. COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA—”. The cylinder roll engraving on the 1851 Navy features a scene from the Battle of Campeche executed by American engraver Waterman Ormsby. The engraving pays homage to Texas in their fight with the Mexican government for independence. During this particular battle, the Mexican Navy wielded two ironclad steamers, while the Texans were armed with a variety of wooden ships, led by Commodore Edwin Moore. The scene also appears on the cylinders of the Colt 1860 Army and 1861 Navy Revolvers. The condition is very good. It has been refinished. The metal surfaces have a light gray-brown patina. The markings are clear. The serial numbers match, and the parts have been renumbered. The ivory grips are smooth and in great condition. The bore is in good condition. The action is excellent.
