OUTSTANDING CASED ENGRAVED COLT MODEL 1851 LONDON NAVY REVOLVER.

OUTSTANDING CASED ENGRAVED COLT MODEL 1851 LONDON NAVY REVOLVER. SN 194, all matching. Cal. .36, 7-1/2″ oct. bbl. British proof marks appear on the rear of the bbl and on each chamber. The engraving is typical light scroll engraving usually found on British Colt Revolvers. The bbl is marked “ADDRESS, SAMl COLT NEW-YORK CITY” with a teardrop at each end. The initials “W.B” are stamped on the trigger guard below the serial number, possibly the engraver. The cylinder scene has the “Engraved” line under the serial number. The American case is lined with red velvet and contains a slant charger, “COLT PATENT” flask, bullet mold, screw driver/nipple wrench, packet of cartridges, Eley cap tin, and key. CONDITION: Excellent with 90% bright blue on the bbl, 75% on the cylinder with sharp cylinder scene. Brilliant case hardening on the frame and loading lever, slightly fading on the sides of the hammer, 99% silver on the backstrap and trigger guard. Light scratches and dents on the grips but little wear. The case is fine with slight wear from the front sight and top of hammer and light marks from the cylinder. The flask retains most of the light brown finish, with a small dent towards the top on one side and light wear to the high spots. The cartridge packet has been opened but the wire remains with the packet. The mold is fine but the sprue cutter has lost most of its finish. The cap tin label is slightly dirty with oil or mildew spots. The key works. Truly a magnificent gun. 4-46446 FS272 (25,000-35,000)
