Gun Show Purchase

Found this one at a gun show Saturday.
1851 Navy Civilian Model (silver backstrap and trigger guard). It was NIB. Only thing I didn't like is the fact it a .44cal. But for $160 I couldn't leave it there. The guy started at $225 but after some enthusiastic negotiations I walked away with it.

Nice score. I've had a couple of these Civilian .44 Navies in the past & they all shot well.

Me too. That's the biggest reason it caught my eye. I was actually kind of looking for another 1858 but there wasn't a single one at the show. This revolver has a little "curb appeal" to it.
