*SOLD* 1989 Armi San Marco 1851 Navy .44 Blue 7 1/2" *CLASSIC CAP & BALL REVOLVER*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis

The Colt Revolving Belt Pistol or Navy Pistol, sometimes erroneously referred to as "Colt Revolving Belt Pistol of Naval Caliber" or "of Navy Caliber" (Naval is a heavy gun and Navy Size Caliber was termed later for another Colt model) is a cap and ball revolver that Samuel Colt designed between 1847 and 1850. Colt first referred to this Revolver as the Ranger Size model, and then Revolving Belt, but the designation "Navy" quickly took over. Total production numbers of the Colt 1851 Navy Revolver were exceeded only by the Colt Pocket models in concurrent development, and numbered some 215,000 domestic units and about 42,000 produced in the Colt London Armory. 


Today, the Colt 1851 Navy is now produced by a variety of Italian manufacturers, which gives you the classic look and feel of a Civil War revolver. Armi San Marco was a family-owned gun maker in Brescia, Italy. They supplied American retailers with replica firearms over the 1960’s through the 1990’s.
