Please Note: the cylinder Serial Number is “3883”. The revolver Serial Number is “163833”. Obviously an assembly mistake. Cylinder is original to revolver.

SCARCE ENGRAVED COLT MODEL 1851 NAVY PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

SN 163833. Cal. 36. Blue and color case hardened with 7-1/2″ oct bbl. Rare dovetail front sight and 1-line New-York U.S. America address. Left side of frame has a small “COLTS PATENT”. “PATENT” on the frame is a very light strike. The brass trigger guard and back strap contain a replacement 1-pc smooth ivory grip. Cylinder is usual 6-shots with Ormsby naval battle scene roll marking. Revolver is engraved in late vine style probably by Gustave Young. Three of the scrolls terminate in flower blossoms which is one of Young’s trademarks. Hammer is engraved with a wolf’s head on each side of the nose with fish scale patterns on the top edge and sides of the spur. Matching engraving patterns extend over the bbl lug, top side flats and around the address on the top flat with additional matching patterns on the rammer pivot. Top of the backstrap is engraved in Mr. Young’s typical fan pattern with foliate arabesque patterns on the backstrap, buttstrap & trigger guard. All the visible serial numbers on bottom of the revolver are accompanied by a small punch mark which indicates that this revolver was to receive extra polishing for engraving. Trigger screw and lock bolt screw appear to have been changed, an easily rectifiable situation. PROVENANCE: Norm Flayderman Estate Collection. CONDITION: Fine to very fine, all matching except grip which is unnumbered. Bbl retains about 80-85% glossy orig blue with the loss areas flaked to a dark patina with some fine pitting. Rammer handle & pivot retain bright case colors with pitting on the handle. Frame & hammer retain about all of their orig case colors turning a little dark. Cylinder retains about 50% orig blue with a large area of fine pitting. Trigger guard & backstrap are a medium brass patina. Grip has a few age lines, shows light wear and retains a golden ivory patina. Timing needs attention otherwise mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore with 2 or 3 small spots of pitting. 4-51178 JR115 (8,000-12,000) – Lot 2092
