Description
The Colt 1851 Navy got its name from the roll stamped engraving on its cylinder that depicted the Republic of Texas Navy’s 1843 victory over the Mexican fleet. The 1851 Navy was a sleek, six shot, .36 cal. revolver with a 7-1/2″ octagon barrel, that found a hugely popular following with soldiers and civilians alike. The first 4,200 were produced with a square backed trigger guard and the new pistol was quickly adopted by both the U.S. and British military. From the American frontier to British India, the 1851 Navy became the sidearm of choice worldwide.
