1866 vintage Colt Model 1851 Navy percussion single action revolver, serial number 199924. 7 - 1/2" octagon barrel in .36 caliber with Colt New York barrel address, cone front sight, and hammer notch rear. 1 piece plain walnut grips. Complete with aftermarket case with tope velvet interior with white borders, an aftermarket engraved pin, and a plaque reading: "CIVIL WAR SURVIVOR" / "1851 COLT NAVY" / "90% CYLINDER SCENE" / "#1999224". CONDITION: Good, with virtually all of the original finishes turned a gray patina with scattered handling marks and visible traces of original finish in protected areas. Cylinder scene is mostly present, but appears to be less than 90% as the plaque states. Trigger guard and backstrap have worn to a mellow patina. Grips are strong with no major signs of distress. Good mechanics. Bore is frosted with heavy abrasion toward muzzle and well-defined rifling. Box is excellent. TON
