WHITNEY NAVY INSPECTED CIVIL WAR REVOLVER & CIVIL WAR NAVY FUSE BOX. SN 257154. Cal. 36. You are bidding on two nice conditioned Civil War Navy items from the same consignor. Whitney Navy revolver appears all original and authentic with matching serial numbers. Top of the bbl is marked “E WHITNEY/N. HAVEN” with a small anchor. Cylinder scene is mostly present exhibiting naval ships, an eagle and a shield with the word “WHITNEYVILLE”. The buttstrap is stamped with a large “USN” and the cylinder is inspected “P/HKH”. Mechanically this gun functions well. The bbl retains strong traces of finish and the loading assembly and hammer retain strong traces of case colors. Accompanying this pistol is a fine Naval fuse box which measures about 4-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ x 2″. There is about 1-3/4″ lozenge shaped cartouche on front of box with “NAVY YARD/NY/1863”. CONDITION: Rifling is crisp. Bbl retains about 20% original bright finish turning brown with scattered scratches and nicks. Loading assembly latch and hammer have good muted case colors. Frame is smooth and brown with tiny traces of finish in protected areas. Brass trigger guard has numerous nicks, dings and scratches. Stock retains some original varnish with scattered nicks, dings and scratches and numerous dents in buttstrap and buttstock where gun apparently was used as a hammer. Fuse box is sound overall. Stitching is still tight and marking is very good. Almost all of the original finish is on the box under areas of cracking and crazing. 4-39501, 4-39503 JS25 (2,000-3,000)
