FOR SALE Vintage Colt - 1851 Navy - shootable condition

[Rotaman]

This is a vintage Colt revolver for sale. It is original with all serial numbered parts matching. It is in shootable condition with black powder, although buyers are encouraged to have the guns examined by a competent gunsmith before attempting to fire.

More photos will be provided upon request.

1851 Navy in .36 caliber. Made in 1861 and possibly used in the Civil War. This gun has been used hard but is in working order and is shootable with appropriate loads. One screw is missing from the frame by the trigger guard as the photo shows. $1,300

Price is firm. No trades. Shipping and insurance are NOT included, so the buyer will need to contact me to discuss shipping costs. This firearm is exempt from Federal firearms regulations and does NOT need to be shipped through an FFL; however, some municipalities have restrictions that require more formal transfers. Buyer is responsible for following the law in their local area.

Is it a 1851 in 36 cal..or a 31 cal pistol?

two different pics with the name/date - one shows label of a .31 and the other a .36

I am new to this forum. Im75 yrs young and retired Air Force. I’m interested in your 1851. You posted it on my birthday so had to comment, etc. I can read “firm”. Not too far out of my price range though. Two questions. 1- is there a serial # on cylinder?
Do you have any other percussion items?
Thanks for your time.

The serial number on the cylinder matches the other parts. All parts are original. The serial number is 10XXX9.

I do have an original 1849 Pocket Navy also listed on this forum.

Thank you for your service, Sir!

Thanks for your response. I have too many 1849s now. If your “firm” ever changes let me know. Take care.
