This is a recent acquisition from a local Vicksburg collector. The .36 caliber Colt 1861 Navy pocket revolver is (apparently) in its original walnut box with most if not all of its original appurtenances. The engraving is beautiful, with the hammer sporting the coyote head used by master engraver Gustave Young to mark his pieces. The very low serial number, "555", may indicate that this was one of Young's early products. The revolver is silver plated, with spots of wear where it has disappeared. The cylinder engraving appears to be a horse-drawn stagecoach along with other figures.

The original Colt walnut case is in great condition.
