The 1851 Navy revolver, produced from 1851 to 1872, was the most famous model of the cap-and-ball era for good reasons. This 1851 navy snub nose model features a case-hardened steel frame, blued parts, octagonal barrel, brass loading rod included in the box, and a checkered walnut flattop Birdshead grip.

 

The .36 model includes a standard Navy cylinder.
