Antique COLT Model 1892 NEW ARMY & NAVY .41 Caliber Double Action REVOLVER First Double Action Swing Out Cylinder Used by the US Military!
Description: Antique COLT Model 1892 NEW ARMY & NAVY .41 Caliber Double Action REVOLVER First Double Action Swing Out Cylinder Used by the US Military! Here we present a Colt Model 1892 New Army & Navy Double Action Revolver, made in 1898 by the Colt Manufacturing Company with a production run from 1892 through 1907 in Hartford, Connecticut. The M1892 Colt Army and Navy was the first general issue double action revolver with a swing out cylinder used by the US military. In 1892 the gun was adopted by the Army in .38 Long Colt caliber, and the revolver was given the name of New Army and Navy. Initial experience with the gun caused officials to request some improvements. This would be an ongoing condition, resulting in Models 1892, 1894, 1896, 1901, and 1903 for the Army. A Model 1892 revolver was recovered from the USS Maine after it exploded in Havana Harbor in 1898. It was presented to then-Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt, who would later become President of the United States. Roosevelt brandished this pistol to rally his Rough Riders during the famed charge up San Juan Hill on July 1, 1898. By the time production ceased in 1907 (the gun would be kept in the government inventory for several years after that) more than a quarter of a million versions of the Army & Navy had been made. Not a bad track record for an arm that many consider something of a failure. The overall condition is fine. The action is strong and tight all around. The bore is in nice shape. Original blued finish. The grips are in great shape and remain solid. Here is a prime example of a Colt New Army & Navy from 1898! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 4-1/2 inches. Caliber: .41 Colt 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 $1350 #20614 SOLD Antique: Yes |
