EXTREMELY RARE CASED SAVAGE NAVY PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

EXTREMELY RARE CASED SAVAGE NAVY PERCUSSION REVOLVER. SN 1296. Cal. 36. Rare Savage revolver with 7-1/8″ oct bbl, tall pin front sight with fixed rear sight on top strap. Top strap is marked with the Savage & North Patents. It has unfluted 6-shot cylinder with nipples set at an angle with hammer offset to the right, over the top, that strikes through the top strap. It has a heart shaped trigger guard with ring lever that cocks the hammer & rotates the cylinder and a separate trigger to fire the revolver. It has elaborate 2-pc smooth walnut grips. Cylinder system on this revolver is unusual in that when the ring lever is actuated the cylinder is withdrawn to the rear and rotated, then when the lever is released the cylinder returns to the forward battery position with the recess around the chamber mouth sliding over the forcing cone effectively forming a gas seal. Accompanied by an orig burgundy velvet lined mahogany casing compartmented in bottom for the revolver, a single sided angle spout flask with two pheasants and a bird dog. Bullet mold compartment is empty as is another square compartment in the front with the right rear compartment containing a tin of Eley’s caps and a functioning key for the mortised lock that has a mortised brass escutcheon. CONDITION: Extremely fine. This gun is spectacular; the finish looks orig, but may be a factory re-finish. Revolver retains about all of its glossy commercial type finish with some flaking on frame behind recoil shields. Cylinder retains about 98% glossy bright blue. Rammer handle, hammer, ring trigger & trigger guard retain most of their strong orig case colors, slightly faded on ring & trigger guard. Back strap is mostly a gray patina. Grips are sound with a minor scratch or two and retain most of their glossy orig varnish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore, appears to be unfired. Case is very fine, completely sound with a slightly warped lid and minor storage and handling nicks, scratches & scrapes on outside. Interior is extremely fine with wear in cylinder & bbl areas in both bottom & top with some deterioration from front sight. Flask is very fine retaining about 95-96% orig finish. Cap tin is also fine. 4-33376 JR311 (10,000-15,000)
