FACTORY ENGRAVED COLT MODEL 1851 NAVY PERCUSSION REVOLVER MANUFACTURED AT BEGINNING OF CIVIL WAR.

SN 106032. Cal. 36. Based on SN this particular gun was made in the early months of the Civil War with the early New York address with long dashes. Gun exhibits classic Gustav Young attributed style factory engraving with signature “dog head” on left bbl housing along with floral designs with punch-dot backgrounds. Left side of frame is engraved “COLTS PATENT” in an arc. This is a nice honest example of a presentation grade gun that was among the most popular sidearms among Union and Confederate officers during the Civil War. This gun shows honest use and was well cared for. CONDITION: Very good overall. All matching SNs noted on metal parts, though stocks were not removed as they are so well fit with hand worn patina. Engraving is all sharp & crisp and gun has crisp edges. No orig finish is retained and metal overall is grey. Cylinder scene is mostly discernible and other markings are crisp and well defined. There are scattered areas of light pitting especially at muzzle & face of hammer. Pistol functions mechanically well with crisp, well discerned rifling in bore. 49613-3 JS (4,000-6,000) – Lot 3172
