EXTREMELY FINE COLT MODEL 1851 HARTFORD NAVY PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

SN 82473. This gun conforms to other early Hartford Navies with a 7-1/2″ oct bbl, 1-line Hartford address and Ormsby rolled naval battle scene on cyl. This gun was made late in 1857 and is in same serial range of known government purchased guns which explains why several parts of this gun still have small sub-inspectors marks. This is an extremely fine example of an early civilian Hartford Navy retaining most of its original finish. PROVENANCE: Norm Flayderman Estate Collection. CONDITION: Very fine overall. All matching, though not disassembled, as gun appears original throughout. Bbl retains about 90-95% bright original blue finish with remainder plum. Cyl retains about 25% bright blue finish with remainder gray/plum, a light drag line is present and virtually all of the Ormsby rolled naval scene is visible. Loading arm, lever, frame and hammer retain about 25% muted case colors with balance silver/gray. There is an area of pitting in center of loading arm. Backstrap and trigger guard retain about 90% of their original silver plate and stocks retain virtually all of their bright original varnish with edge wear. Trigger bow has old dents and dings a hair-line crack internally not affecting aesthetics. Mechanically gun functions well with bright, crisp bore with areas of scattered pitting. 4-54413 JS10 (8,000-12,000) – Lot 1336
