That took me a second mark. Very funny!

 

It's a reproduction. Can't really be a "Navy" in .44 cal as Navy arms were .36 cal and Army were .44 cal. Just something else to screw with.

 

I think there were some original .36 Navy Colts that were converted to .38 when the cartridge became available. (Hickock's favorite pistol. He carried a brace of them.)


The .44 saw a lot of conversion too. The successor to the Dragoon.

 

Been looking at pics of those guns. Beautiful.

 

Cabelas has the 1851 "Navy" .44 on sale for 199.00. It would go great with your new lined pants.

 

Hahhaa....yep, but before I do that I gotta see if they have long riders. I want to look the part of the western drifter with that glinty, steely eyed look...oh, wait...that would be posing...never mind.

 

Nice sunset over Morro Bay.

 

Napsrgud............

 

I've always thought that the 1851 Navy was one of the most beautiful pistols ever made.

 

Russ, think I have found THE LOOK...I will be the envy of all at Starbucks!
