IVORY GRIPPED EARLY 3RD MODEL COLT NAVY REVOLVER.

SN 15913. This is an interesting Colt Navy revolver originally made in 1852 with the addition of 2-piece ivory stocks that no doubt appear original to guns time of use and were most likely added by a knowledgeable craftsman as each stock has an assembly number “VI” which is also cut into grip strap where a steady pin was also added that fits the grips quite nicely with a fit as good as any factory Colt grip. This is a beautiful gun in the normal configuration of other Colt Navies still retaining some original finish and with beautifully fit well patinaed ivory grips. CONDITION: Gun is good to very good overall. Metal is gray/brown with strong traces of bright blue finish being found on bottom of bbl and some muted case color on loading arm and frame. Backstrap retains about 60% of its orig silver plating. Gun is all matching except wedge which is an unnumbered replacement (though original) that fits loosely. Ormsby Naval battle cylinder scene is about 70% intact. Smooth ivory grips are well fit though each has a chip at steady pin on both grips, the largest being just over 1″ long. 4-51560 JS156 (2,500-3,500) – Lot 2212
