Cal. 36. S# 70222. This exceptional survivor 3rd model was made in 1857 where few survivors appear this new. A vast majority a pre-Civil War navies rarely have any finish much less be virtually new. Most distinctive feature of third models is the small trigger guard. Many revolvers in this serial range were purchased by US Army and obviously this revolver was meant to be one, as revolver has military inspection on most every part including oil finished grips. Revolver is also finished in bright military blue and case colors. The only thing lacking to make this a military purchased gun would be the final inspector's cartouche in the grips. This is truly among the finest military finished Colt navies extant appearing unfired, retaining virtually all its factory finish. Standard configuration and markings: small "COLTS / PATENT US" on frame, barrel address "-ADDRESS SAML COLT NEW-YORK CITY-", matching serial numbers throughout. This revolver was obviously made for army contract which was filled and this perfect military finished revolver sold in civilian market. You won't find a better one. CONDITION: excellent overall, 95%+ original blue and casehardened finish, some spotting on barrel, crisp matching markings throughout, crisp safety pins, grips excellent, few minor marks on edge. Mechanically excellent, crisp shiny possibly unfired bore, cylinder chambers retain most of their original blue finish. (01-26093/JS). ANTIQUE. $15,000-25,000.
