Make: Savage R.F.A.Co. Model: 1855 Savage Navy Caliber: .36 Cal BP Action: SA Barrel: 7 Bore: Dark Condition: Very Good This is a very nice service used example of the Savage Navy Model, a six shot .36 caliber revolver, which was made from 1861 until 1862 with a total production of only 20,000 guns. This unique military revolver was one of the few handguns that was produced only for Civil War use. Its design was based on the antebellum Savage-North "figure eight" revolver. The Savage Navy had a unique way of cocking the hammer. The shooter used his middle finger to draw back the "figure 8" lever and then released it forward to cock the hammer and rotate the cylinder. In its original patina and in working order. Please see photos. No FFL
