EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH CONDITION COLT 1861 NAVY MODEL REVOLVER.
01-23557
Cal. 36
S# 35434
This outstanding example is one of the highest condition 1861 Navy revolvers this cataloguer has ever seen. When comparing production totals with the 1851 Navy (approx. 272,000) & the 1860 Army (200,000), the scarcity of this model (38,843) makes any survivors quite desirable. Factoring in the condition of this fine example, one should not let this opportunity pass them by!
