Colt Model 1851 Navy Cartridge Conversion Revolver with Holster

Manufactured in the early 1870s with the Richards-Mason conversion. Standard markings and features. Front sight cut down. Matching numbers including the grip with loading gate numbered "90". The back strap is marked "J4. Pa. Do. No. 19" on the butt. Includes a leather holster rig with floral patterns on the belt and possibly the Japanese character meaning "heavens" on the holster and a box of 50 .38 long R.F. cartridges.

ConditionVery good, retains 40% original nickel finish with the balance a smooth grey patina or brass on the trigger guard and back strap. There is widespread light pitting and smoothed edges from heavy use. The well-worn grip is fair with slightly smoothed edges and some minor dings, dents, and scratches. Mechanically excellent. The holster rig is fair with moderate wear and some cracking, and the cartridge box is very good with some minor wear.
