F225.
COLT 1851 NAVY REVOLVER – I & XI CORP BADGE INLAYS – 1863 SERIAL NUMBER: This Colt 1851 Navy Revolver is serial number
150452 which dates it to 1863. The serial number is matching on the wedge, cylinder,
brass strap, lower received and push rod with no number on the barrel, and the top
of the gun has the Colt markings. The cylinder scene is very strong. On the
grips are mother-of-pearl inlays for the 1st & 11th Corps, and on the
bottom of the brass are the initials D B R. Unfortunately, this is not enough information
to positively identify the soldiers. That being said, the date of manufacture
and the addition of the Corps badge inlays is significant to placing this gun
on the battlefield for some of the major battles of the Civil War. Looking at the history of both Corps, there
is a very high probability this gun was carried at Chancellorsville and later Gettysburg. Who knows,
it may have been used by an officer or a cavalry soldier attached to these 2 Corps.
Maybe with more time D B R can be identified by doing a detained search of all
units attached to these two corps and cross referencing the soldier data base. $2800.00
