LONDON MODEL 1851 NAVY

These revolvers are physically similar to those made in the U.S. with the exception of the barrel address, which reads “ADDRESS COL. COLT LONDON” and British proofmarks are stamped on the barrel and cylinder. Approximately 42,000 were made between 1853 and 1857 with their own serial number range from #1 to #42000. There are two major variations of the London Navy, and again a serious purchaser would be well advised to seek qualified appraisal as fakes have been noted.
