Hi Folks!
Today I picked up a original Colt percussion revolver ...
Now, what the heck did I buy?
It is a six-shot, .36-caliber gun with a 7-1/2 barrel. The serial number is 112691, and the barrel stamp reads “ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA”. The entire grip strap is brass. The "naval" scene on the cylinder is very faint, but still there.
I think its a Colt 1851 Navy Fourth Model. Yes? No?
Thanks!
Dave
