- Lot Description
.36 caliber, 7.5" round barrel, S/N 2063 (mfg. ca 1861). Blued and case hardened finish, brass triggerguard and backstrap, one-piece walnut grip. Matching numbers, including the wedge and grip. Two-line Colt's patent mark on lower left of frame, one-line New York barrel address. Bottom of grip stamped USN. One of 3,370 "New Model Navy" revolvers acquired by the US Navy during the American Civil War.
This is a very scarce example of a US Navy marked example. Noted arms author and writer John D. McAulay notes that “while a few of these revolvers were inspected with naval markings, it appears that the majority were accepted at the naval yards without formal inspection.” This one is, however, marked on the bottom of the gripstrap. A scarce and desirable Civil War martial revolver.
Good. Retains no finish with a thickly oxidized brown patina and scattered pitting. Retains no cylinder scene. Mechanically functional, fair bore with pitting. Brass uncleaned with a nice patina, grip worn with a repair to the lower trailing edge of the reverse. Nipples worn and battered, one broken and one chipped. A well-used and salty example of a rare USN marked M1861 Navy revolver.Condition
