MODEL 1861 NAVY REVOLVER

The 1861 Navy is a six-shot, 7.5-inch round barreled, .36-cal. percussion revolver. The frame, hammer and attached loading lever are case colored, while the barrel and cylinder are blued. The grip frame and trigger guard are silver plated brass. The grips are of one piece walnut. The cylinder has the standard Colt roll engraved naval battle scene, and the barrel stamping is “ADDRESS COL. SAML. COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA.” The frame is stamped “COLT’S/PATENT” with “36 CAL.” on the trigger guard. There are not many variations within the 1861 Navy model designation, as less than 39,000 were built between 1861 and 1873. Their serial numbers begin at #1.
