Antique 1861 .36 Cal Colt Navy (regular Production)

This antique handgun resembles the 1860 .44 Cal Colt Army, but instead is of a smaller caliber version of the same gun style. These were actually produced for the Navy in 1861 and were offered on the civilian market as well.

This civilian pistol is in nice overall condition, with its original wood grip fitting tight and showing the slightest of wear with 3 very minor nocks. The frame shows very minor wear, the cylinder has minor pitting in two isolated areas and barrel has some signs of pitting along the exterior of the barrel from past corrosion, the overall body has some minor surface dents and scratches, retaining about 30% of its original finish, mostly on the receiver. The action is mechanically functional and tight. The image on the cylinder are visible but feint and there is some dirt around the percussion nipples. There are no government marshal inspector marks on this firearm that would indicate it is military issue. It has readable maker marks on the top of the octagonal 7.5" barrel "Address Col Sam Colt - New York - US America", with matching serial #1666. The .36 Cal. bore is clear of rust or pitting, with its groves showing some wear. A nice example of a classic civil war era antique firearm.

(The frame pin has not been removed to check the serial number, these slides are rarely matched to the gun and no guarantee is offered here that it matches the frame or cylinder.)

This is an antique percussion hand gun and does not require a PAL.

Antique 1851 .36 Cal Colt Navy Percussion Pistol 3rd Model

Here we offer a classic firearm of the civil war era and early days of the wild west. Many soldiers or their family members would buy their own hand gun privately on the civilian market before they set off to war. This fact is proven in countless studio portrait photos of the period. Further, as the west opened during the 1860s, these reliable handguns were purchased for self defense by cowboys, lawmen and settlers prior to the introduction of the more reliable cartridge firearms.

This civilian pistol has held up well over the years with its original wood grip fitting tight and showing some hard wear. The grip brass strap is silvered with some scratches on its bottom edge and 50% worn off. The frame, cylinder and barrel are free of pitting or corrosion, with some minor surface wear, retaining about 60% of its original finish. The action is mechanically functional and tight. The image on the cylinder is still visible and there is some dirt around the percussion nipples. There are no government marshal inspector marks on this firearm that would indicate it is military issue. It has crisp and clear maker marks on the top of the octagonal 7.5" barrel "Address Col Sam Colt - New York - US America", with matching serial #36651. The .36 Cal. bore is clear of rust or pitting, with its groves showing minimal wear. A nice example of a classic civil war era antique firearm.

1860 Light Cavalry Sabre US marked blade

The 1860 Light Cavalry sabre was the standard sword for the Union Soldier on horse back. It was an improvement in design, even though it looks much like the old 1840 "wrist Breaker" it replaced. The brass hilt has a lovely patina with a clean blade, with normal dulling to its surface. The grip is complete and the blade is tight to the hilt and suffer three minor chips or dents as seen in the pic provided. The scabbard has both rings, but has developed a light brown patina to its surface. An overall solid example of the pattern and well marked. Markings read on one side the manufacturer Mansfield and Lamb and the other US indicating military service, DFC for the inspector and manufacture date of 1862, a date many collectors prefer because its early enough to have been used during the major battles of 1862 to 1865.
