TAYLORS & COMPANY C.Mason 1851 .38 Special 7.5in 6rd Navy Nickel Revolver with Walnut Grips (550732)

With patents for the conversion of percussion revolvers, Colt employees Charles Richards and William Mason cut off the cap-and-ball cylinders at the back and installed a conversion ring to accept cartridges. These conversion revolvers were favorites then and are enjoying popularity again as favorite reproductions.

The C.Mason 1851 Navy Revolver features a brass backstrap and trigger guard, octagonal barrel with brass post front sight, and a smaller-size Navy grip. C.Mason models feature a forged steel frame, nickel finish parts, modern ejector rod, and hammer with notched rear sight.
