SPECTACULAR COLT MODEL 1851 NAVY ARMS PERCUSSION REVOLVER ENGRAVED “H.Y. EVANS 1861, “F.J.P.C.C.”.

SN 104910. Cal 36. Blue & color case hardened with 7-1/2″ oct bbl, brass pin front sight and 1-line New-York U.S. America address. Left side of frame has a small “COLTS PATENT”. The unplated brass trigger guard & backstrap contain an oil finished 1-pc walnut grip with last 4-digits of matching serial number in backstrap channel. Cylinder is usual 6-shots with Ormsby naval battle scene roll marking and all 6 safety pins crisp & prominent. Backstrap is very nicely amateur inscribed “H Y Evans 1861” and the buttstrap “F J P C C”. Finish on this revolver is military style with satin blues & not so bright case colors with the unplated grip frame & oil finish grip. This was an expedient by Colt to fill government contracts. A search of the American Civil War Research Database disclosed 227 individuals named Evans with first initial “H” and about half that many Confederates. None, however showed a middle initial “Y”. Regardless this is a scarce, very high condition military revolver that apparently was issued during the Civil War. PROVENANCE: Norm Flayderman Estate Collection. CONDITION: Extremely fine plus. Bbl retains 96-97% crisp orig satin blue with the only loss areas faint sharp edge wear and an area of surface rust with fine pitting on the right side toward the muzzle. Rammer & handle retain bright case colors. Frame & hammer also retain brilliant case colors, lightly faded on left recoil shield with a small area of wear at the highest point. Hammer retains brilliant case colors on the sides, faded on top edge. Cylinder is a dull blue/brown patina and shows about 97-98% Ormsby naval battle scene roll marking with one small area of fine pitting. Grip frame is a medium mustard patina. Grip is sound with sharp edges and retains about 99% of its orig oil finish. Mechanics are crisp, billiant shiny bore. May have been fired, but if so, very little. Chambers of the cylinder & bore retain most of the orig blue. 4-51141 JR134 (8,000-12,000) – Lot 2094
