Description
For the Colt collector
Recently acquired from a private collection in the US is this great example of the legendary Colt 1851, otherwise known as the Colt Navy.
Colt records show that this matching numbered revolver was made in 1864 so it may well have seen service during the US Civil War. It may have also gone west & seen action in the Indian Wars.
We are always told to buy the gun & not the story so whatever its history (if only it could talk), it remains in good condition & numbers matching, which is a feat in of itself.
The timing is very good & it all works as it should. The lockup is still tight, it indexes correctly & the half cock works well, as does the full cock. The bore still show rifling & is in similar condition as the rest of the gun. The overall condition can be seen in the photos so make your decision based on what you see, so please view the photos carefully as they form the main description & override all written information so ask for more if desired.
Whilst we check these out for serviceability, the warranty has expired & these are sold on an as is basis.
As with all used guns, we recommend you have this checked by a suitably qualified person prior to shooting, should you wish to do so.
No license required in QLD, check your regs in other states.
