United States Historical Society 1851 Colt Navy
This is a 1 of 1000 US Historical Society Model 1851 Colt Navy Revolver especially made as a Special Edition in the late 1980's for Navy Veterans. It is the standard .36 caliber in percussion cap & ball system. This is serial number 760 and was originally ordered by a local US Navy Veteran of WWII, recently deceased. He sold it to me with the expectation that I would pass it on to an appreciative buyer, a plaque with his name is enclosed. It is as new in the original walnut custom case and with a velvet sleeve and white cotton gloves for handling. He told me he paid over $1000.00 when he bought it more than twenty years ago. It is a very impressive piece and handsomely done in gold overlay on the dark blue finish with walnut grips. These USHS Commemoratives rarely come on the secondary marker as they are usually kept and passed down as family heirlooms; here is your opportunity to own a fine example.
