2nd gen Colt .36 Navy

[ToothPick]

I wanted to share my good fortune in acquiring this Colt from a local online auction. For the price of a new Pietta from Cabela's, I got this cased set as shown. I was shocked when no one else bid it higher. I guess everyone wants AR's now a days.

I believe the accessories may of been pieced together by a previous owner but the pistol itself is a genuine Made in 1975 2nd gen Colt. I am 90% sure it is unfired. Just the slightest small scuff on the silver plated trigger guard. The photos don't do the bluing and case hardening justice.

That's awesome

I'm trying to bring myself to shoot my 2nd Gen 1851, it may be unfired but probably not. I'm going to shoot it but not a lot.

Congratulations on your 2nd gen Colt. They are incredible to see and appreciate in person. Photos just don't bring out the quality and depth of the bluing or the colors in the case hardening.

The accessories are correct and as issued by Colt in the cased sets.

When I got mine many years ago I sent it to the Goon. It is a fine shooting machine!

I got mine from a gun shop along with an F series Pocket Navy I got there later. The Navy is definitely fitted better.

Well done, I've said Colts can be found at reasonable prices. Of the three 2nd gen Colt's I've purchased, 1851, 1860 and an 1862 Pocket Police the Navy is my favorite. The Navy was used by a re-enactor for years and it gained a beautiful patina looking like well preserved original. The other two were never fired but lacking the boxes they were only $150-to $200 more than a new Uberti or Pietta. You just have to shop around .
