- Lot Description
.36 caliber, 7.5" octagonal barrel, S/N 145540 (mfg. ca 1863). Blued finish, brass triggerguard and backstrap, ivory grips. All matching numbers, including wedge, grips were not removed. An original M1851 Navy from the Civil War period expertly and artistically refinished and enhanced with a high polish blue finish, high grade engraving and gold inlays. All markings have been enhanced with gold, including the cylinder scene. The flowing vines engraved on the frame, cylinder and barrel have been highlighted with gold inlays as well. The gun was further upgraded with smooth ivory grips. A really stunning example of Steve Kamyk skills and artistry of engraving. He did the Presidential Series For the Colt Custom Shop, and examples of his work are illustrated in R.L Wilson Book Colt An American Legend pages 332-333.
Condition
Excellent. Retains essentially all of the applied finish and gold inlays. All markings crisp and clear, crisp engraving. Cylinder scene entirely intact and enhanced with gold. Appears mechanically functional (cylinder was not rotated to avoid applying a turn ring), bore very good. Grips fine. A really lovely contemporary enhancement of a period revolver.
