In 1851, the revolver was introduced into the equipment of the US Navy, despite the name Colt Navy was sold in greater quantities to the army than the navy. The reputation of the Colt Navy revolver soon reached England, where in 1852 Samuel Colt built the only factory outside the United States. Revolvers produced at this factory between 1853 and 1856 were called Navy London.
The revolver has a milling on the underside of the grip to accommodate an optional fixed wooden flask # NSS44 (Navy Shoulder Stock). Flask turns revolver into rifle.
Construction - frame brass with open skeleton, flame hardened pobojczyk. Oxidized black black 6-chamber drum and octagonal barrel length 5", thread pitch 1-30". Trigger guard (bail) and shank fittings of polished brass. Targeting instruments, brass fixed fly.
Covers - grip made of walnut wood, facilitate a secure grip on the weapon. Oiling enhances the color of the wood, highlights the grain, and preserves the natural appearance. The oil penetrates deep into the wood without clogging the pores, allowing the wood to breathe.
Drain - mhe trigger-tongue tensioning mechanism allows two positions: semi-tensioned for putting caps on the chimneys and tensioned for firing a shot.
Pobojczyk - lever (punch) placed hinged under the barrel of the revolver, designed to press the lead bullets into the barrel chambers.
