The Colt M1851 Navy cap & ball revolver was a six-shot, single-action percussion weapon produced by Colt's Manufacturing Company. It saw widespread use in the American Civil War and on the American Western frontier. The Colt design lives on today in the form of quality live firing pistols true to the original Colt pistols, from Italian manufacturers Uberti, Pietta and Euro arms. This is a quality steel and brass side venting copy of an 1851 Colt Navy percussion pistol firing a blank cartridge. This quality gun retains all its original blued finish to the cylinder and barrel together with brass to the frame. There are no visible makers name or serial numbers. The single action navy pistol has a foresight, rounded brass trigger guard and hardwood grips. The barrel is blocked *see images* and it is side venting. The length of the pistol is 34cm, barrel length 13 ½ cm. NB As a blank firing replica of an antique revolver no licence is required to own this item in the UK. The pistol cocks and dry fires correctly and the price includes UK delivery. 21994:1.
