Antique Colt 1861 U.S. Navy Navy Conversion. R.W.M. With Anchor Bottom of Barrel. .38 Long Colt Center Fire. Tight Like New.
Description:
Antique Colt 1861 U.S. Navy Navy conversion. Here is a real nice U.S. 1861 Colt conversion. This one is the rare Navy Navy model with the R. W. M. with the anchor on the bottom of the barrel.. Richard W. Meade was the inspector at the New York Navy Yard and he inspected these revolvers when they were sent back from Colt after the conversion process. Then stamped his initials with an anchor on the bottom of the barrels of these guns he inspected. About half of the Navy Navy conversion were inspected by Meade. The great book written by the late Bruce McDowell explains all the details on these Colt conversions. Very few of this Navy Navy model were converted. This gun still has the full standard 7 1/2” barrel and is chambered for the .38 center fire Long Colt cartridge.. All the Navy Navy conversions were in center fire. The gun basically has no finish but for traces of case colors on the rear sides of the frame where protected by the recoil shield. The back strap is brass and still has 99% silver plating. The mechanics are excellent and locks up tight like a new gun with no cylinder side roll. Rock solid barrel to frame fit with no wobbles or looseness anywhere on this gun. The barrel still fits tight to the frame even with the wedge removed. Tight wedge. The markings are very good to excellent. The word AMERICA at the end of the barrel address only is weak.. It also has the anchor stamped at the end of the barrel address. This was another inspectors mark from when the gun was inspected as a percussion for the Navy. Has about 40% to 50% typical light cylinder scene. S/N 7412 is stamped on the barrel, frame and the secondary number on the cylinder as is correct while the S/N 3490 is stamped on the trigger guard and back strap. The mixed numbers are totally acceptable and correct. As I mentioned, McDowell,s book explains all these features of these conversions. In fact, the very first photo in his book on page 259 of a Navy Navy conversion has 3 different serial numbers !!! Kinda like the Colt Artillery's, but with those, ALL the numbers were mis matched plus the barrels were lopped off.!!! This gun as mentioned in the book has a slightly rare steel trigger guard also. Gun still retains the original “target” or concentric ejector rod head. Many of these were broken during service and replaced with what ever they had. The bore is very good and mostly shiny with a little black powder roughness. Nothing bad at all and no rings or bulges. The chambers are all nice and smooth with no issues. The grips are solid and a perfect fit with no splits or cracks. They show a very old coat of varnish. They both show some flare wear at the bottoms. All the screw heads are still clean, sharp and not burred up from tinkering. The loading gate has a good spring and closes tight. These guns do not show up for sale very often and most show very heavy use as they had been through the Civil War, then converted and re finished and served in the U.S. Navy until the new Colt double action revolvers replaced then in the late 1880's and early 1890's. Then they went on to the civilian market where a lot of them had the barrels shortened and who knows what they went through during that time period... Lots of history in this model. Call 765-728-8049 with any questions or more photos. $35 insured shipping. Antique so NO FFL needed.
