Colt London 1851 Navy Conversion to CF

This is quite an unusual piece. It is a London Colt with British proofs on the barrel and each of the cylinder points. It has been converted to 38 CF, probably by a blacksmith. All the numbers match, including the wedge. The conversion was done by milling the cylinder down and adding a back plate of iron and a loading gate of copper. Mechanically, it is nice and tight and times properly. The bottom of the back strap is marked with the initials WIM. The grips retain 60% original finish. The gun has aged to a nice even patina. The hammer screw has been replaced. All the others are of the English domed style. A truly interesting Colt!  Antique – $1,695.00
