F1284. Colt Model 1861 Navy revolver in very good condition, these are much rarer than the Model 1851 Navies with only 38,843 produced compared to nearly 300,000 1851's, main difference is it went to a 7.5" round barrel, this example has a strong marking on top of the barrel of - ADDRESS COL. SAM L COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA -, the six shot, .36 caliber cylinder has the rolled scene of the Texas Navy vs the Mexican Navy, light but visible, the metal is smooth and free of pitting, has a medium grayish-brown patina, the walnut grips are in great shape, all matching serial numbers denote an 1863 production date, the action is strong and crisp, and functions perfectly, overall a very nice example of a scarce Colt, much nicer than most I see
