Manufactured 1860. Rare Colt Civilian 1851 Navy with rare screw over wedge. Features six shot, single action, blued and case colored finish, and one piece varnished walnut grips. Full or partial matching serial numbers can be found on frame, barrel, cylinder, trigger guard, backstrap, loading lever and wedge. Gun retains fully 90-95% of its Colt high polish blue finish, brilliant case colors; almost 95% blue on the cylinder, which is almost unheard of, with a complete visible and sharp roll engraved Naval battle scene. Has all original nipples and complete pins. Hartford address on barrel. Near mint grips with some oil staining. 85-90% of the original silver plating in trigger guard and backstrap. Razor sharp edges and legends. Indexes and locks up like it was made yesterday. Mint bore. This revolver is in such high condition that one would readily think it is a reproduction at first glance as originals do not surface often in such nearly pristine condition inside and out. This absolutely stunning example can not be improved upon. From the Jim Linton Collection.
