Presented for sale in this lot is an antique Colt model 1851 Navy revolver. This pistol is in decent condition, showing signs of wear from age and use, which is to be expected for a pistol of this age. The finish is nearly gone, has some pitting and is also missing a screw in the frame where the tamping rod hinges. It has the original wood grips and matching serial numbers. There is some wear to the corners of the wood grips. It has the one-line New York barrel address. It cycles properly, however we have not fired it. Keep in mind this is an antique and not warranted safe to shoot and it should not be attempted without the aid of an expert. A great addition to any collection! Maker: Colt. Serial No. 51990. Approx. Age: 1856. Size: Barrel length is 7-1/2 inches. 36 Caliber Condition: Fair to poor for its age, wear expected. Please look closely at the pictures - they are an important part of our description.
