Cimarron

1861 Navy, 36 Caliber, 7.5" Barrel, Fluted Cylinder, Cut For Stock

Considered by many as the most attractive of the percussion revolvers, the 1861 Navy is a streamlined version of the 1860 Army model, but with a 7 1/2-inch barrel, rather than the army model's 8-incher. This somewhat unusual version of the .36 caliber six-shooter has a fully fluted cylinder. Although only 38,843 of the standard 1861 Navy with an unfluted cylinder were produced between the years of 1861-1873, it found favor with all who used it throughout the War Between the States and on the Western frontier afterwards. General George Custer owned a pair, and New Mexico U.S. Marshal A. Cutler packed an ivory-stocked standard '61 Navy. Cimarron's 1861 Navy with a fully fluted cylinder has kept the looks and heft of the originals. This version of the 1861 Navy revolver is one that any cap-and-ball sixgun enthusiast would be proud to show off!
