For Sale: Colt 2nd Generation 1851 Navy .36 Caliber Revolver – Excellent Condition
Offered here is a beautifully preserved Colt 2nd Generation 1851 Navy revolver, manufactured during Colt’s limited black‑powder revival of the 1970s–1980s. These revolvers were built using Colt machinery, Colt parts, and Colt oversight, making them the closest thing to owning an original 19th‑century Colt without the five‑figure price tag.
This example features the classic octagonal barrel, walnut grips, and the iconic naval battle‑scene cylinder engraving that made the 1851 Navy one of the most famous sidearms of the American frontier. The finish shows only light, honest handling wear with no abuse, pitting, or corrosion. All markings are crisp, mechanics are tight, and the revolver locks up properly—an excellent representation of Colt’s second‑generation craftsmanship.
Whether you’re a Colt collector, black‑powder enthusiast, or simply looking for a historically significant display piece, this revolver is a standout example that’s becoming increasingly hard to find in clean condition.
