The Colt Model 1851 Navy is one of the most recognizable percussion revolvers of the 19th century, widely carried during the Civil War and favored for its balance, reliability, and elegant lines. Its octagonal barrel, open-top frame, and streamlined grip profile made it a defining sidearm of the era. This miniature example captures those same proportions and design cues in a scaled format, preserving the visual and mechanical character of the original revolver.

This U.S. Historical Society-produced miniature stands out with its strong case coloring, engraved details, and rifled barrel, offering a higher level of craftsmanship than typical display miniatures. It is serialized number 655 with matching numbered parts. The included presentation case enhances its display appeal, while the overall condition remains well-preserved with only light oxidation noted on the barrel. It presents as an attractive and historically inspired collectible piece.
