This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Gold-inlaid Colt Model 1851 Navy Revolver, an iconic piece of American history. Manufactured in Hartford, Connecticut around 1853 by Samuel Colt, this firearm represents the ingenuity and innovation that defined the 19th century. The revolver's intricate gold inlay work adorns its steel and copper alloy frame, adding a touch of opulence to its utilitarian design. The rich walnut wood grip provides both comfort and elegance to this remarkable weapon. Accompanied by a case and various accessories including textiles, glassware, cork stoppers, bone handles, pewter containers, and paper cartridges - all meticulously arranged for display - it offers a glimpse into the life of an era long gone. As we admire this heritage art piece preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) in New York City, we are reminded of America's deep-rooted connection with firearms throughout its history.
