.36 caliber, 7.5" round barrel, S/N 7572 (mfg. ca 1862). Blued and color case hardened finish, brass triggerguard and backstrap, smooth walnut one-piece grip. Single action, 6-shot percussion revolver. Matching numbers throughout, including the grip, with the exception of the wedge, which is an unnumbered replacement. One-line New York barrel address, clear two-line Colt's/Patent mark on lower left of frame, martially sub-inspected throughout with weak script JT cartouche on left of grip. Despite the fact that this gun suffers from poor storage resulting in condition issues, martially marked M1861 Navy revolvers are quite scarce. Condition: Good. Retains no finish with a moderately oxidized mottled gray patina and scattered pinpricking and minor pitting. Barrel marking legible, retains some traces of the cylinder scene, with all safety pins visible but worn on the rear of the cylinder. Mechanically functional, but needs some attention to the stop bolt or spring as the cylinder does not rotate freely at half cock. Fair bore with moderate pitting but retaining strong rifling. Grip good, lightly sanded with backstrap slightly proud of the wood and showing some scattered bumps, dings and mars as well as tiny chips out of the leading and trailing edges of the grip.
