Colt Model 1889 New Navy 38 LC Double Action Revolver (SN# 1282 - Manufactured in 1889)

A Colt Model 1889 New Navy DA. 38 LC Double Action Revolver in good condition with a bright and defined bore. The action appears to function properly with pitting and wear to the finish on the cylinder. The rest of the pistol has a fair amount of blue with the exceptions of the cylinder and top of the frame. The cylinder has good lock up but is relatively hard on rotation, probably needs a good internal cleaning.   Based on serial number this is one of the first 5000 produced for the U.S. Navy, making it even more rare.  

Introduced 1889, Colt’s breakthrough double-action revolver featured a swing-out cylinder (one of the first practical Colt designs to do so).  This one is chambered in .38 Long Colt. Adopted in Navy contract versions and influential in the lead-up to later U.S. service revolvers, it set the basic pattern for modern swing-out revolvers used in the Spanish American era.

If you are looking to own a true piece of Colt history without spending thousands, this is a great place to start.
