Product Description
Antique J.M. COOPER Double Action NAVY Model .36 Cal. PERCUSSION Revolver
CIVIL WAR ERA Based on the Colt 1849 Pocket Revolver
Here we present an antique J.M. Cooper & Co. Double Action Navy Revolver, made circa 1867 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a production run between 1864 and 1869. During a time of rapid innovation in firearms technology and an insatiable market due to rapid expansion and the American Civil War, dozens of makers seized their opportunity to put their ideas on the market.
The J.M. Cooper Double Action Revolver took the concept of the Colt 1849 Pocket Model and improved it by giving it a double action firing mechanism, resulting in their own “Pocket” model. This is an example of a slightly larger, .36 caliber revolver, probably inspired to try to obtain U.S. Military contracts. Only about 15,000 of these Navy Models were made during its production run.
The overall condition is very good. Old refinish with good silver on the grip frame. The action is excellent. The bore is in nice shape with sharp rifling. The percussion nipples have been updated. The grip is in good shape with a couple notches on the right side.
