CRIMEAN WAR Antique COLT LONDON Model 1851 NAVY .36 PERCUSSION Revolver BRITISH PROOFED with LONDON BARREL ADDRESS

Description:
CRIMEAN WAR Antique COLT LONDON Model 1851 NAVY .36 PERCUSSION Revolver   

BRITISH PROOFED with LONDON BARREL ADDRESS

Here we present an antique British Proofed Colt Model 1851 Navy Revolver with the London barrel address, made circa 1855 in London, England. The U.S. Hartford factory was firmly established, and sales were exceedingly good for Samuel Colt. So, Colt's thoughts began to drift towards his possible share of the English gun market, and in 1853 he established a factory in London which produced thousands of examples of this model for the British forces in the Crimean War. The London factory closed in 1856.

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.

The overall condition is very good. Dark patina throughout. The action is excellent. The bore is in good condition with strong rifling. The grip is solid. Numbers match.

Barrel is 7-1/2 inches.
