Serial 23724 was made in 1853, is chambered in .36 caliber, has a 7.5-inch barrel and shows a reasonably sharp gun with an even gray patina. Serial 23715 is rated excellent, with about 95 percent bright blue on the barrel, bright case colors on the frame and excellent grips.

The set suits a collector who wants two period Navy revolvers kept together with their case and accessories. The two guns show different wear, so the finish on each differs, and a buyer who wants matching condition should study the details of each gun before ordering. Check your state's handgun rules, including age and permit requirements, before you order.
