About This Historic Firearm:

This venerable Colt is a single action .36 caliber revolver, all matching serial numbers: 157,XXX.  It was manufactured in 1863 in the Hartford, Connecticut plant.  The barrel address shows -ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA-.  The left front side of the frame is marked COLTS PATENT in two lines and 36CAL on the brass trigger guard.  The cylinder has an almost worn off scene depicting a battle between the Texas and Mexican navies.  The cylinder is also stamped COLTS PATENT No 7037 (matching this individual Colt's serial number 157037).  The number 7037 is also stamped into the loading lever.

The 4th Model Navy Colt's overall length is 14" with a 7 1/2 octagonal barrel and features a large rounded brass trigger guard and back strap.  It was first manufactured in 1850 and was kept in production until 1873.  Weighing 2 pounds, 10 ounces, it feels well balanced in the hand and shows like nobody's business!  Records detailing official and open market purchases show about 35,000 Colt revolvers being purchased by both the Army and Navy during the Civil War.  The Army purchased 20,000 of that number.  The contract models are marked US or NAVY.  However; the 4th Model Navy was immensely popular during that conflict and many additional thousands were purchased by the individual states or for private usage.  It is one of the most popular guns in the arms collecting field.

1863 Colt Navy 4th Model 1851 / Item #C1851 / $3,800.
