This well-made reproduction of a Colt Model 1851 Navy revolver is service numbered 1049 and is .36 caliber with a 7.5” octagonal barrel. The metal is gold electro-plated with scrollwork on the frame and barrel lug, arabesques on the barrel, and scenes from Lee’s life(including his home at Arlington) on the cylinder. The one-piece walnut grip has gold plated gripstraps. The revolver is as new in the original French fitted mahogany display case with a tooled leather panel inset in the lid. The case contains an eagle pattern powder flask, a silver medallion with a bust of Robert E. Lee, and a metal cap tin with his signature inscribed. Also included are the original paperwork with a numbered certificate of authenticity and the white cotton gloves used to protect the revolver’s finish. The case and accessories are in excellent condition.
