GUN FALL 2017
The live portion of this session begins on Tuesday, October 31, 2017.
SCARCE COLT HARTFORD ARMY CONTRACT MODEL 1851 NAVY PERCUSSION REVOLVER. COLT NAVY 78911 36 Cal. 36. Nice honest example of an all matching, complete and orig military purchased Colt Navy in standard configuration just prior to Civil War. These guns generally saw hard service and this is fine survivor. PROVENANCE: The Confederate and Civil War estate collection of Fred Donaldson. CONDITION: Very good overall. Gun retains tiny traces of finish in protected areas. All matching SNs. Iron is a mottled grey overall with crisp markings and crisp 1-line Hartford address. Each grip has cartouche though only discernible in outline. Each metal part has sub-inspector initials stamped. Gun saw honest use but is still mechanically crisp with good bore and portions of discernible rolled cylinder scene. 52438-22 JS (3,000-4,000)
