SCARCE DOUBLE CASED PAIR OF COLT CIVIL WAR NAVY PERCUSSION REVOLVERS.

SCARCE DOUBLE CASED PAIR OF COLT CIVIL WAR NAVY PERCUSSION REVOLVERS. SN 103134 & 103136. Cal. 36. This pair of guns made in 1861 at the early stages of the Civil War are cased in a beautiful, flame mahogany custom case with escutcheon plaque having the initials “EAG”. It is unusual to find a pair of guns in matching condition cased only 2 SN’s apart. These guns are of the usual configuration having 7-1/2″ oct bbls, brass pin front sights and 1-line NY addresses. Left sides of frames are marked “COLTS PATENT” and both bbl housings have a small “2” stamped near interface with frame on left side. Both guns appear complete and original with all matching SN’s with exception of wedge on SN103134 where the wedge is not numbered. Guns overall are crisp and tight, fully functional and well marked. Cyl scene of naval battle is visible on both guns. Guns fit well into the red velvet-lined box accompanied by eagle flask and a “COLT PATENT” marked 2-cavity bullet mold stamped “36”. There are several extra cones, bullets, two Eley cap tins and a white metal oiler in the case. CONDITION: Guns overall are very good with crisp edges and traces of finish and old refinish. SN’s and markings are well struck and easily discerned though “AMERICA” in bbl address on SN 103134 is only partially visible as can be seen in photos. Cyl scene on SN 103134 is about 80% intact with areas of newer blue refinish. Cyl scene on 103136 is 80-90% discernible. Backstraps and trigger guards have good yellow patina and retain about 30% of their original silver-plating. Stocks on both guns are sound and well fit and varnish remains about 90%. Accompanying flask has numerous small dents, dings and scratches. Accompanying mold overall gray/blue with scattered pitting under refinished surface. Colt patent mark is readily discernible. Casing overall is in very good condition with a British patent mark on lock. Mahogany veneer has several chips, cracks and scratches typically associated with storage. Velvet interior overall is very good with staining and scuffing in areas where guns and components rub. 4-44243 JS31 (6,000-8,000)
