Colt 1851 Navy Percussion revolver in .36 caliber fully and deluxe Gustave Young engraved with New York address, small iron trigger guard and back strap, London proofs, S/N 28306. The barrel proofs are overengraving indicating shipment to Britain. The engraving is that of the master’s own hand with extra treatment at the muzzle, tight and elaborate scrolls with “Devil Dog” hand cut Colt’s patent at the center of the frame, cob webs, florals and “a bit extra” engraving than normally encountered. The Colt shows original ivory grips that fit impeccably with yellowing and the right amount of natural aging. The revolver is very good overall with crisp metal surfaces and generous traces of blue and case hardening mixed with a natural patina. 30%-50% light original cylinder scene with visible Ornsby signature. Good address and markings. Crisp edges. Tight action andmatching visible serial numbers. A scarce variation being a New York iron guard engraved that old collector’s feel about 6-12 exist. Gary Wiemann collection. Est.: $6,000-$12,000
