RARE COLT KREIGSMARINE MODEL 1851 NAVY FLASK.

RARE COLT KREIGSMARINE MODEL 1851 NAVY FLASK. Standard single-sided Navy flask with crossed rifles and pistols over “COLTS PATENT” which is over a stand of flags and trophy of arms. Top of the flask, on the repoussed side, is stamped “KM/645”. It has a short, angled spout with blued spring. These flasks were made to accompany the 1,000 Colt 1851 Navy revolvers sold to the Austrian navy in 1859. They are rarely encountered, even in a complete set, so to find one in such fine condition, alone, is quite remarkable. CONDITION: Fine to very fine. Overall retains 85-90% strong orig finish with dark coppery patina showing through. Collar and spout retain about 50% orig polish. Backside has a couple of minor dents and a couple small ones on the left lower front. 4-39053 (1,200-1,900)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2009

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
