The Colt Revolving Belt Pistol of Naval Caliber (i.e. .36 cal) later known as the Colt 1851 Navy or Navy Revolver is a cap and ball revolver that was designed by Samuel Colt between 1847 and 1850. Colt first called this Revolver Ranger model; but the designation Navy quickly took over. It remained in production until 1873 when revolvers using fixed metallic cartridges came into widespread use.
