This Polished Nickel and Gold M1851 Navy Revolver recreates that well-loved firearm. Such was the popularity of the M1851 Navy revolver that even well-known figures, like General Robert E. Lee and noted outlaw John Henry Doc Holliday were said to use one! This particular model is based on Colts first run of the pistol, as it features a cylinder that is engraved with the Battle of Campeche, a victory won by the Texas Navy. Originally, Colt engraved this image onto the cylinder as a sign of appreciation, as Texas purchase of this revolver in large quantities was Colts first major success in the gun trade. The barrel and frame are further decorated with rich scrollwork patterns. The pistols finish is also quite distinctive, as it features a two-toned finish of polished nickel frame accented by a gold cylinder, shell ejector, hammer, and trigger.
