I have an original '51 Navy Colt, serial number 13XXX but don't have any info on when it was made. I understand that there was a fire at the Colt factory in the early 1860's and some paperwork was destroyed. I would really like to know when this gun was made since the serial no. indicates that it may have been an early production. It does have a small trigger guard, and is in fair condition.
Thanks in advance for any info.
