UNUSUAL WHITNEY NAVY CONVERSION REVOLVER.

UNUSUAL WHITNEY NAVY CONVERSION REVOLVER. Cal. 38 CF. SN L923. Appears to be a 2nd model Whitney Navy, with 7-1/2” octagon bbl, brass trigger guard and walnut grips. The bbl has a tall cone front sight mounted on a tiny dovetailed insert that is 1-1/8” from the muzzle. The conversion consists of a new cylinder with thumbnail notches and a floating spacer at the back with a crude loading gate. The rammer assembly has been replaced with an extended cylinder pin which is mounted a sliding ejector rod. The hammer has a long firing pin mounted underneath the percussion hammer nose with corresponding hole cut into the frame. All the markings have been either worn away or cleaned away. The serial number is found on the top flat just in front of the frame and again inside both grips. The trigger guard and bottom of the frame under the trigger guard are stamped with a matching number. CONDITION: About good. No original finish remains being a dark gray patina with light to moderate pitting overall. Mechanics are a little sticky but functional. Strong bore with moderate pitting. 4-51007 JR665 (500-1,000)
