Ha!- The pistol in message #24 NOT an 1851 Navy, as it has the wrong type loading lever and a round barrel, it looks like a "New Model Small .36", often called "New Model Navy 1862", which is styled like the "New Model Army 1860", and aparently actually came out in 1860, it was a pocket pistol rebated up to Navy size. ;-) BTW, in them days: ARMY pistols were .44 NAVY pistols were .36 POCKET pistols were .31 cal
