Immerse yourself in a piece of history with the A. Uberti Colt 1851 Navy Black Powder Pistol. This meticulously crafted piece is a replica of the iconic Colt Revolver developed by Samuel Colt, favored by none other than Wild Bill Hickok during the American Civil War. This particular piece was manufactured in 1971, a testament to Uberti's dedication to authentically recreating these legendary firearms.
In fair condition, this firearm shows extensive signs of prior use and handling. It features a fair bore condition, 6rd capacity, and a percussion action. The barrel is 7.5" long and has an octagonal shape. The blued finish and smooth glossy grips add to its classic appeal. The sight/optic is a brass front post with a grooved rear sight on the hammer.
What makes this piece unique is the "Battle of Campeche" engraving on the barrel, a common feature on all Colt Navy's.
The .44 BPM (Black Powder) caliber reflects its traditional loading method, which pre-dates modern smokeless powder rounds. This not only adds to its historical value but also offers a unique shooting experience. A previous owner removed one nipple for safe carrying, indicating its practical use in the past.
Whether you're a collector, history enthusiast, or a shooting aficionado, the A. Uberti Colt 1851 Navy offers a unique blend of history, functionality, and craftsmanship. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of history.
