1856 vintage Colt 1851 Navy percussion single action revolver, serial number 42115. 7 - 1/2" octagon barrel in .36 caliber with cone front sight, hammer notch rear, and "ADDRESS COL. COLT LONDON" single line barrel address. Case colored frame, rammer, and hammer with blued iron trigger guard and backstrap. 1-piece plain walnut grips. Housed in English blue velvet-lined Mahogany case with accessories including Dixon powder flask, Eley percussion cap tin, Colt bullet mold, Merwin & Bray packet of 6 combustible envelope cartridges, cleaning rod, Colt nipple wrench/screwdriver combination tool, and 11 lead bullets. Matching serial numbers observed at butt, trigger guard, frame, cylinder, barrel, and rammer. English proof and view markings observed on left barrel flat as well as on each chamber of cylinder. CONDITION: Excellent plus, with nearly all of the bright original bluing remaining with the exception of even wear near muzzle from heavy cleaning and minor handling marks throughout. Frame, hammer, and rammer retain bright original case colors throughout. Cylinder scene is sharp with a light dragline. Walnut grips are in matching condition with light handling marks but no major signs of distress. Action is tight and indexes properly. Bore is dark with visible rifling from use with corrosive back powder during the period. Case is fine with delamination beginning to occur at corners of lid and body but is otherwise complete. Overall a great opportunity to own an exceptional Colt London 1851 Navy with all of the accessories. TON
