This antique firearm is in overall excellent condition. All mechanics operate as originally intended. The lock up is solid and strong. The case hardening on the receiver is solid and the engraving on the cylinder is well defined and complete. The bluing has developed consistently to a beautiful gray/tan patina. The metal sports no gouges, cracks, etc. and shows almost no wear marks from use. There is a small surface scratch on the left side of the receiver at the middle screw (see photo) which is the only mark in the metal work noticed on this gun. The barrel rifling is still strong and crisp.The wood grips have no cracks or gouges, and sport only minor surface markings. This is a beautiful example of a London production Colt 1851 Navy!
