Silver & Gold Colt 1861 Navy Pair Sell at Auction

Colt 1861 Navy revolvers are already significantly rarer than other Civil War-era models by the manufacturer. Now plate them in silver, trim them in gold, cover them in factory engraving, relief carved grips, and add a presentation to an accomplished Civil War serviceman, and you have a recipe for one of the most well-known and best documented of all the American Civil War Colt revolvers.

It's a one-of-a-kind pair that one savvy collector can now appreciate for all its beauty, rarity, and unique history.
