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 heavy gun and Navy Size Caliber was termed later for another Colt model), is a cap and ball revolver that was designed by Samuel Colt 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. After the Civil War, revolvers using fixed metallic cartridges came into widespread use. The Colt Navy remained in production until 1873, being replaced in the Colt line with what would become one of the manufacturer's most famous handguns, the Colt Single Action Army (also known as the Peacemaker and Colt 45).
The Colt 1851 Navy Ulysses S. Grant Commemorative is a .36 caliber cap and ball revolver that was introduced in 1971. It comes with a Colt display case that is lined with blue velvet. Originally, Colt had plans to produce 5000 of these Ulysses S. Grant Commemoratives, but due to a high price and low demand, they only manufactured less than 4500 before the project was cancelled. Today, this pistol is a rare find with its exceptional build quality and attention to detail which would make it an amazing addition to any firearm collection!
Condition/Contents:
The owner states that this example is a one owner example and remains new old stock, showing no evidence of consumer use or handling whatsoever! This Colt will ship with the original Ulysses S. Grant commemorative display case lined in blue velvet, original shipping box, bullet mold, powder flask, cap tin, and ALL contents pictured above!
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
