"Said to have been used by one of General Forrest's soldiers"—a desirable Colt 1851 Navy Revolver

Colt Model 1851 Navy Revolver, serial no. 11211, caliber .36, a preferred gun of the Confederate Cavalry during the Civil War. The muzzle-loading firearm has an octagonal barrel and exhibits a handsome, dark patina. Accompanied by a letter from Brian K. Akins of Rebel Relics, stating: "The revolver has oral history of Southern usage and falls in a serial number range that is not uncommon to have Southern History. This particular gun was said to have been used by one of General Forrest's soldiers." This is an antique firearm and transfers with no federal restriction.
