Colt Navy .36 Percussion Revolver, Confederate Model 1862-1864, Old Gray, Wooden Grip, Replica



Decorative gun with moving mechanism

– Not fireable –



This beautiful decorative weapon is a faithful replica of an American Griswold & Gunnison percussion revolver from 1862: it was made as a copy of the Colt Navy Model 1851, which was used during the American Civil War in the Southern Confederate States.

Because the Confederates were unable to obtain arms in the Northern states, the arms manufacturer Griswold & Gunnison in Griswoldville, Georgia, was commissioned to produce a .36-caliber (9 mm) muzzleloader. The Colt Navy 1851, the finest revolver of its day, was used as the model for this example. Although key features of the Colt model were retained, the most significant difference was the cylindrical barrel instead of the iconic octagonal design.

Beginning in 1862, approximately 3,600 copies of this replica were issued to the Confederates until the foundry was destroyed by opposing Union troops in late 1864. After the war, it continued to be used during the period of westward movement (also called the westward expansion or westward movement ).



Our replica of this Southern revolver reflects the dimensions of the original weapon. Like the original, it has a 7.5-inch barrel (approx. 19 cm), a single-action trigger, a loading ram, and a 6-chamber rotating drum that continues to rotate when the hammer is cocked. The decorative revolver combines wooden grips with metal elements in a grey colour with an antique finish.



Our firearm replicas are for recreation and decoration purposes only. The mechanics of the revolver are fully movable, but this reproduction is not functional or capable of firing.



Thanks to its authentic look, this western weapon is not only an absolute gem for gun collectors, American history buffs or fans of western movies and series, but also an essential accessory for cowboys, law enforcement officers, outlaws and reenactors of the American pioneer era of the American Civil War.
