Cimarron 1851 Navy Oval Black Powder Revolver .36 Caliber 7.5 Inch Blued Case Hardened

Cimarron 1851 Navy Oval Black Powder Revolver

The Cimarron 1851 Navy Oval Black Powder Revolver stands as a testament to historical craftsmanship and reliability. Chambered in .36 caliber, this six-shot revolver features a robust 7.5-inch octagon barrel that commands respect both visually and functionally.

Admired for its striking blued case-hardened finish, the revolver also boasts an authentic varnished walnut grip, providing not only aesthetic appeal but also ergonomic comfort. The hallmark oval trigger guard—aptly named the "Percussion Peacemaker"—adds to its distinguished character and reminds us of its storied past.

This reproduction pays homage to one of history's most famed cap-and-ball firearms: the original '51 Navy was favored by adventurers across America’s rugged landscapes from California's Mother Lode country to Kansas' tumultuous plains. It earned acclaim among cavalrymen during the Civil War and found favor with legendary figures such as John Wesley Hardin, Wild Bill Hickok, and members of the James Younger Gang.

With nearly a quarter million produced before production ceased in 1873, few firearms have left such an indelible mark on American frontier lore. Cimarron's dedication shines through every detail—from its rich blue finishes or unique "Original Finish," down to the roll-engraved naval battle scene on the unfluted cylinder. Completing this masterpiece is a period-correct bead front sight paired with a notched hammer rear sight for precise aiming.

Weighing in at just over two-and-a-half pounds (2.72 lbs), this smooth-handling smokewagon captures both balance and beauty—a fitting tribute for those who appreciate traditional design intertwined with historic significance.
