serial #61059, 38 CF, 7 1/2'' octagon barrel with an about good bore showing areas of light to moderate old pitting scattered throughout, bright areas and strong rifling. The metal surfaces of this revolver are mostly a mix of deep plum-brown and more mild pewter gunmetal patina with areas of scattered light pitting and old tool marks from the years. The barrel shows some evidence of a light cleaning with thin scratches visible. All principal markings are intact and mostly strong, the barrel showing New York address and small anchor stamp along the top flat. The bottom flat shows proper ''R. W. M. (Anchor)'' Navy inspector stamp, the conversion patent dates are stamped over the original ''COLTS / PATENT / US'' on the left side frame and the butt is marked ''USN''. The cylinder scene also remains quite strong overall and the revolver is equipped with iron backstrap and triggerguard. The smooth walnut grip remains in very good condition showing an old cleaning with some scattered light dings and dents and the interior ink number is rather faded but appears to be matching. The wedge is un-numbered, the cylinder has been re-stamped to match the frame during conversion and the remaining numbered parts are matching. The action is crisp and seems to function well mechanically with very good timing and lock-up. A solid example of these interesting and desirable U.S. Navy revolvers.
