ORIGINAL COLT FACTORY CASE FOR MODEL 1851 PERCUSSION NAVY REVOLVER. Fine solid case appearing original and unaltered that would house a fine Model 1851 Colt Navy Revolver with small trigger guard and accessories. Early Colt Navy cases for small trigger guard guns are scarce and this would be a perfect compliment to a fine Gustaf Young engraved Colt Navy. SIZE: 14-1/4″ x 6-1/4″ x 2-1/4″. CONDITION: Box is sound, solid and complete. Box retains much of its original varnish finish with normal dings, dents, scrapes and scratches on surface. Base, which is made of pine has several large cracks extending most of the length of the box though it doesn’t affect soundness or stability of the box. There is a slight warp to lid such that when closed there is a 1/16″ gap at edges. Dark burgundy red velvet lining in box is complete with wear and soiling present where components originally sat in this case. Partitions are sound and complete with one glued repair to partition, which is barely discernible. This box retains an original contemporary functioning key. 4-45679 JS142 (7,500-9,500)
