E. Whitney Navy 2nd Model Cal: .36 SN: 22319
Blued 6-shot percussion solid-frame single-action revolver with a 7-5/8" octagon barrel. A later model with a brass trigger guard, this still has the lightly roll-stamped Federal shield, eagle, lion and ships on the cylinder. The bore is bright and shiny with some rough spots but very sharp rifling. The front sight appears to be a replacement from the original bead. The loading lever still has some case coloring showing. The barrel has much of its bluing remaining. The frame has faded to a patina. The cylinder has a drag line and six shallow safety notches between the nipples. The hammer spur has worn checkering. The wood grips have shrunk away from the edges of the frame and have appear to have a clear varnish on them. Condition is very good plus. *Antique Firearm*
