Pretty Revolver.

I'm sure as you know, each revolver and their parts were hand fitted to the specific piece. So even if you do find an original cylinder, you'll probably have to do some fitting, timing..etc on it yourself.

You can try for original parts here -

Thanks GOEX FFFG ... I called Coltparts a while back and they only later production BP Colt parts, not the old stuff I was looking for. The screws and small parts they carry would fit. I can do the fitting or send to a friend if it exceeded my gunsmith abilities. I'd be happy to if I found suitable used parts for this old Navy model. Hoping to find some grubby old parts instead.

Did you try Numrich Arms it looks like they have the cylinder.

I tried them earlier in the year. I told them my Colt was an antique and they didn't have the cylinder. I will check with them again today. Thanks! Wm

Replica cylinder

Hi Scrat,

I deal with VTI and they are nice folks. I already have both Pietta & Uberti 1851 Navy replica cylinders here from previous projects but I really hope to find an original Colt manufactured cylinder from the original production from 1851 to 1873. I hope to keep the revolver all Colt original. I have three 51 replicas. Thanks for info.

Sorry I can't help you but I'm curious, so I'll ask. I have a navy colt in 36 cal. like that one which my great (great?) grandfather used in the civil war. Its got some use but could probably still fire. I wouldn't try it without going through it first and using a light load. But I'm wondering what it is worth. I got one quote from a collector and I'm just wonder what you thinkg the ball park range is since you seem to have some knowledge about them. Its a navy colt with almost none of the engraving left on the cylinder through holster wear, etc...
Just wondering if you could hazzard a guess without seeing it.
Sorry for the hijack.

Colt 1851 Navy value

I have a Colt dates of manufacture book and it has all of the production numbers for years these were produced. Your serial number would determine what year it was made. Also, determining whether or not it was refinished affects the value of the revolver. There are tons of replicas out there made in Italy and also by Colt. There is also Proxibid & gunsamerica which shows what comparable original 51's are selling for on auction.

Without the information about your Navy model, photos would be very helpful too, it would be near impossible to determine a value for your gun. There is a whole book just on the differences of all the 51 Navy varieties so it's tough to give you a value without info on your specific gun.
