Product Description
The Colt Model 1851 Navy is a famous .36-caliber cap-and-ball revolver introduced by Sam Colt in 1850 (patented in 1851). The term "Old Silver" today usually refers to a modern, satin-like stainless appearance finish, mirroring historical civilian models that featured silver-plated brass backstraps and trigger guards. Wild Bill Hickok's 1851's had this finish, why wouldn't it? His revolvers matched his personality, pretty swanky for the time.
