In Response To: Re: Colt Revolver 36 cal. ()

With a serial number that high it would be a Model 1851 Navy revolver. These came standard with a 7.5" barrel so yours is either a very rare special order or (much more likely) the barrel has been cut down. Off the top of my head the production date for that serial number would be about 1863.
