The Colt brand second generation .36 caliber Model 1851 Colt Navy revolver is beautifully finished, with a 7-1./2" blued octagon barrel, polished blued cylinder, color case hardened frame and loading lever, silver plated brass back-strap and square back triggerguard, and reddish brown walnut grips. This Colt brand second generation revolver has the factory black box with all the original paperwork sealed.
The cylinder is roll engraved with a naval scene. The cylinder, frame, triggerguard, and barrel are all stamped with the matching serial number. The .36 caliber 7-1/2" octagonal barrel is fitted with a bead front sight. A notch in the hammer serves as a rear sight to maximize the sight radius. The pistol is marked ~ ADDRESS SAML COLT NEW-YORK CITY ~ on the top flat of the barrel. Our bottom view shows the color case hardened loading lever, and the silver plated brass triggerguard and backstrap. The silver plating is in bright excellent condition. The color case hardened frame is marked Colt's Patent just below the cylinder.
The loading lever is color case hardened steel, with a secure spring loaded retaining latch. The tip of the loading plunger will accept a round ball, or conical bullet. The cylinder is roll engraved with a naval battle scene and still has the factory nipples installed. We recommend our #PTP-PI steel nipples for No. 11 CCI percussion caps if you shoot this revolver and need replacements.
We recommend the .380" round ball, a tiny bit larger than the factory recommended .375" round ball. This larger ball gives better compression, and seems to shoot cleaner. Be sure to order a #Flask-Colt powder flask, and an #SP-015 brass measure for your flask. Use FFFg black powder, Number 11 percussion caps, and a tiny bit of our lubricant over each ball. We offer a nipple wrench, spare nipples, and everything you need to clean and maintain your Colt.
Despite your best efforts, this revolver will need to be cleaned after 12 or 18 shots. Remove the wedge, barrel, and cylinder. Wipe the face of the cylinder, and wipe the cylinder pin. If you continue to load and fire a badly fouled revolver, the effort needed to cock and fire the gun will become greater, causing the small internal hand, spring, and cylinder latch to become worn and slightly damaged. Continued abuse will cause the cylinder and latch to become out-of-time. Simple cleaning and maintenance will prevent problems.
This Colt brand revolver comes with the factory black box. Prized by collectors, this pistol was made to be a precision shooter. Order it for a ten day visual inspection. You will be delighted. Else if it does not fit you, return it in unspun, unfired condition for same-day refund. Postage is your only risk, when you order any one-of-a-kind gun from Track, whether new, used, or antique.
