Colt Model 1851 Navy Percussion Revolver, Serial Number 29705, with Case and Accessories. Culture: American, Hartford, Connecticut. Dimensions: L. of pistol 13 in. (33 cm); L. of barrel 7 1/2 in. (19 cm); Cal. .36 in. (9 mm); case: 14 1/4 x 6 3/8 x 2 1/4 in. (36.2 x 16.2 x 5.6 cm). Engraver: Engraved by Gustave Young (American (born Prussia), 1827-1895 Springfield, Massachusetts). Manufacturer: Samuel Colt (American, Hartford, Connecticut 1814-1862). Date: ca. 1853-54.
Gustave Young (1827-1895), a German-born craftsman, engraved firearms with intricate and elaborate ornament for Colt in Hartford, Connecticut, and Smith & Wesson in Springfield, Massachusetts. His posthumous fame among firearms collectors caused the decoration on many pieces to be misattributed to his hand. Therefore, as one of the few documented examples of Young's work, this pistol is of primary importance as a touchstone for understanding his style and technique.
