RARE AND FINE CIVIL WAR BRASS FRAME COPY OF COLT MODEL 1851 NAVY PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

NSN. Cal. 36. Mr. Racker had this gun in his collection as potentially an unknown Confederate manufactured revolver. Gun is totally unmarked, closely copying Colt Navy with 6-7/8″ oct bbl. Spring retained wedge and brass frame much like that seen on other Confederate made arms. This gun is indeed unique, though we can only guess at manufacturer. Gun does show casting flaws in both brass and iron and braised features not typically seen on European brevets. PROVENANCE: Outstanding estate collection of Confederate and historical arms of Morris Racker. CONDITION: Very good. Gun appears all orig, complete and matching. Iron has a mottled grey/plum patina overall with traces of finish in protected areas. Brass is mostly smooth with medium mustard patina; well fit 2-pc stocks retain about 90% of their orig varnish with heavy edge wear. 51958-16 JS (2,000-3,000) – Lot 3470
