G'day, I'm Leigh and I go treasure hunting all over the world to search for treasure in all kinds of ways...scuba diving, metal detecting and magnet fishing. Join the adventures on RUclips, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok🤙
Can’t believe how good it came up- finally got around to restoration and it was worth it! Big thumbs up for Hannie 👍 if you know how to identify please let us know 😃
It's either a s&w 500 or a ragding bull
It could be a Russian Colt 1851, This is the only picture I could find: qsy-complains-a-lot.tumblr.com/post/149290070614/russian-colt-1851-navy-copy-manufactured-in-tula
That is a cap and ball pistol. With the barrel pointing up you used a gunpowder dispenser. Put in the paper and ball compress with plunger then seal with wax. The hammer strikes a cap which sits on those little knobs. You might want to check the Springfield Armory. They also were licensed to produce the Colt Navy.
Looks like a Pietta Colt, the brass part looks identical to this modern reproduction. imgur.com/gallery/nDjjE Only the barrel has a slightly different shape but the pins etc all look the same.
I have Some information and a picture about an old Russian gun Thats look wherry similair to the one you have found in kanal
A gentleman gun
It looks like its an russian army gun
an copy of a
Smith and wesson model 3
Gentlemansgun 1870
Day Made 41.000 Copy’s in
1870 for the Russin Army
That is What I found on the internet a bout old gentlemans gun
Ok, so from what I have researched so far, I have come to the conclusion that it is in fact a gun made in the mid 1800s by a non US gunsmith, that is a euro model 1851 Colt Navy. Patent N stands for "Patent Navy". Basically its a Euro model 1851 Colt Navy made in the mid 1800s, not a 25-50 year old reproduction, but an actual mid 1800s Euro made Colt Navy. Som basically a gunsmith in Europe(likely Russia), copied the Colt Navy... Btw, the mid 1800s Euro 1851 Colt Navy has the 2nd finger rest also. The extended trigger guard allowed reins to be tucked where your middle finger would otherwise be when shooting from horseback. I believe the maker in Europe made this one with round barrel, and a different "dragoon" style hammer section as opposed to traditional style ones. That brass looks extremely nice, almost too nice to be from mid 1800s.
You could get the spring replaced in it and get a nice 1 piece grip for it, and it would be perfect. I don't believe it will ever fire again, the metal integrity is too weak to try.
Here is a similar example of it. Also included is a link to a 1 piece original nice grip that would go nicely on it.
Gun example:

This info is so cool. Thanks!!👏🏻👏🏻
I did not have all the detail of the gentleman above but I recognized this as some version of about an 1847ish colt. Search Walker Colt Black Powder Revolver or colt dragoon. They were black powder and lead ball percussion cap revolvers. They were the evolution step before cartridge revolvers.
Being a black powder gun, a measured amount of powder was 1st poured into a chamber of the cylinder. A paper or fabric patch was centered over the chamber with a lead round ball projectile then pushed into the chamber surrounded by the patch. The patch created a very tight fit for the ball in the chamber, which was then rammed up against the powder charge in the chamber using the lever device under the barrel. This same process was done for each of the cylinder's chambers. The groove to the right of the hammer was used to fit a percussion cap over a hollow nipple at the end of each of the cylinder's chambers. When struck by the hammer, the chemical in the percussion cap would ignite, passing through the nipple into the cylinder to cause the black powder to explode and projecting the round ball out the gun's barrel.
I’ve just watched this video of yours and I would like to congratulate you and your partner for your amazing work. The restoration was incredible, that man is a great engineer
I think that restorer gentleman with his amazing skills made a complex operation look simple. Great job thank you for sharing.
Well done Lee on finding it and well done Hannie on its restoration. So nice to follow your finds into restoration. Stay safe Lee and Nicki xxx
Awesome finds brother!!
Yo i like Ur videos
I love your videos too, Britton! 👍❤️
I would've never thought a gun would last 200 years in the water without rusting mostly, if not completely, away. Would todays modern gun last just as long? Great find & restoration here! 👍❤️
Watching Hannie put that gun back together was amazing. Good job sir. 👍
He was a man in the zone and wow I can’t believe he did it! Was so cool watching it happen - glad you enjoyed it as well!
Clint Eastwood uses that gun in Pale Rider and can be seen clearly near the end of the film in the shoot out. When he changes the bullet holder. Good film.
My brother is a gunsmith, he said it was a Belguin copy of a Colt model 1848 Dragoon.
That's so cool!
Great video!
Well Belgium is very close so he could be right! Does he know a website …I will do a search now. Thanks so much for the info 😃👍
Yo i cant find a pic of gun with a trigger guard like his. Went on google cant find it.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_Dragoon_Revolver
So a couple of observations.
1. The front end (barrel and loading lever) appears to be from a Colt 1851 Navy.
2. Colt 1851 Navy revolvers were "cap and ball" or percussion ammunition systems. To load, you pour a measured amount of black powder in each cylinder chamber, place a wad, then your ball, and use the loading lever under the barrel to seat (push) each ball into the chamber.
3. Your revolver, while still possessing an appropriate barrel and loading lever, appears to have been converted (or an attempted conversion) to use cartridges. The cylinder is bored all the way through for loading rounds through the rear of the cylinder, the hammer now has a "tooth" for striking the primers of cartridges, and the brass frame has had a portion removed on the right side so that bullets may be loaded from the rear. As a cartridge conversion, the loading lever on the front would no longer be used.
4. Colt 1851 Navy revolvers did not use brass frames. Current day replicas do, and some Confederate copies did, but they are rare collectors items even in the states. This may have been fabricated specifically as part of the conversion, or is a modern replica part.
5. The spur on the trigger guard is unusual. On revolvers of this era, this would be a common sight on a Smith & Wesson No. 3 Russian, but not a Colt. It speaks again to some "custom" work being done on this revolver as it was being converted.
Lots of guns originally manufactured as cap-and-ball were converted to fire cartridges after the fact. This has a lot to do with Rollin White's patent on the "bored through cylinder" expiring in 1869. This may be a period conversion, it may be a modern one. It's hard to tell from a video, but those are a few of the things I noticed from the video. I should also mention this is not a Colt factory conversion of an 1851 Navy. Those models, such as the Richards Mason conversion and the Thuer conversion, differ significantly from the revolver shown.
Hope this helps!
You should make a new handle from resin and put some bits of little treasure you have found inside it... That would be cool..🤟
Wild Bill Bondi 🤠😂 Very cool find and restoring it is awesome, love it 🙌🏻
Hahah I’m changing my name 😂😂😂
The extra finger rest on the trigger mechanism reminds me of LeMat black powder pistols prior to the American Civil War. It may be worth the investment in having a good restoring gunsmith take a look at it and perhaps preserve it....it most likely will never be fired again but the value and beauty of the pistol is it's history and wear and tear. You said it had a patent and NY on the cylinder but could it be NO instead...these were manufactured in New Orleans, Louisiana. You don't load paper loads and bullets from the back end, young colt.....it's black powder so there is a compression lever on the bottom of the barrel that will help you tamp down the powder charge and wadding and then a lead bullet. They were also manufactured in England and France during the middle 1800s so it makes sense that it would make it's way to Holland and other countries thru Europe. Super find..congrats.
Civil War Confederate Griswold & Gunnison Percussion Revolver with custom finger rest. This excellent example of the Southern efforts to match the Colt Model 1851 Navy resulted in approximately 3,700 Griswold & Gunnison percussion revolvers. Or possible Rigdon & Ansley cartridge conversion revolver in .38RF Very rare.
Hey btw the gun's probably the Colt 1847 Walker. Surprised noones identified it as that yet... pretty standard cowboy type gun lol. Actually not totally sure looking at it again I would say near definitely 1847 colt walker or 1848 dragoon. anyways hope the helps.
IT doesn't put the bullet in the gun, it pushes the shell out after you have shot the gun, the gun is close to 1800's.
Yep, thats an extractor road, although I think you meant 1900's, because it is from around 1870-1890
@@UrbExGear It could be a Russian Colt 1851. qsy-complains-a-lot.tumblr.com/post/149290070614/russian-colt-1851-navy-copy-manufactured-in-tula
@@Brozius2512 looks very similar mate I’ll look into this some more!
Aha ok that’s great to know- thank mate 🙌😃👍
Contact the NRA museum in Fairfax Virginia and email them pictures of the gun. The head curator Doug should be able to identify the pistol.
Still looking :D But I have found something that is a lot closer than my last post .
historical.ha.com/itm/military-and-patriotic/civil-war/confederate-griswold-and-gunnison-36-caliber-percussion-revolver-of-the-navy-type/a/674-72395.s
Looking closer I noticed the frame was gold (not on the navy or any others ) Also the barrel is rounded rather than squared off and the butt of it looks separate from the long barrel. As for the trigger guard finger spur , I think that was modified to suite the owner or decorative addition like some revolvers used in the Crimea war, so possibly had Russian influence at some stage or even Russian mafia > ??
Maybe even parts from another similar pistol. Good luck
You will probably find it is a Russian copy from around 1842 possible produced in Finland. Have fun with your journey. A company called Uberti do a Colt navy replica along with a smith & wesson model 3 which can have that unusual trigger gaurd.
Awesome mate I’m looking at their website now! There’s a few close option but I’m not seeing a match…yet 😂😂👍👍 thanks for your help!
@@BondiTreasureHunter It's highly possible it's a one off commission piece, It looks like a cross between a Colt navy with a Smith &Wesson trigger guard. Try sending Uberti some photos and ask them for help their twitter is @Uberti_USA
Hallo from indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🔥
That is one cracking find brother and how good it come up after Amazing work all round legend
Thanks mate! I can’t believe it’s still working after all that time- very well made 👌👌👌
I was blown away how well it cleaned up it also makes you wonder how it got in the canal was it thrown in or did the guy fall into the canal and lose it, we will never know but an epic find all the same 👍
Watched you pull this out in the original video, it's fantastic what Hannie has achieved restoring it. Bringing a little bit of history back to life. Would love to see a video of the grips being made for it and it would look great mounted on a really nice piece of wood as a wall hanger
Amazing ride you and Henni took us on during this pandemic. Bravo to all. Still cheering 📣 you on from cornfield country Indiana USA 🙂 Love you Lee and Nikki
Yeah it’s been a bit of a wild ride hey! But we made it through with some cool adventures and nice finds 😃😃👍👍💪💪
Amazing find and restoration. If you could find wood pistol grip for it would be amazing complete collectors artifact. Rare finds like this help bring back some of our lost history. I am amazed that WD40 soaking for a year remove all that rust and dirt. Learn something every day. Be safe and thanks for taking us along on this fantastic find. 👍📹 it is similar to a 1800's Colette gravity pistol.This Colette pistol is before the 6 cylinder revolver model. It has the extra finger grip. During this period of time there were a lot of gunsmiths trying to come up with new designs to market to the military and general public.
It’s always interesting to find something and learn so much. I knew absolutely nothing about this topic and it’s been so fun to hear all the history. Cheers mate- hannie is a good restorer hey 😃👍
I've been watching your channel for quite awhile and I think that's the coolest thing you've ever found. That's a collectors piece of history. Keep it safe, congratulations!
I love your channel. The excitement you bring to the videos is great. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! glad you’re enjoying the adventures 😃👍🤙
It's amazing to see how well the parts came out, especially the receiver. In case you or anyone else has the desire to fire it remember that uses black powder and not smokeless powder. If you use smokeless powder it will explode for sure! You could put in a couple of grains of black powder and no ball if you wanted to fire it without damaging it. Of course, that's if the barrel, cylinder, etc are in working condition. Even as a wall hanger it's one of the best finds.
There's a hole in the barrel, needs to be fixed before it can shoot but it's a nice find and beautiful gun for sure
@@ldg508 I didn't get to see the whole video. Kids home for summer break. Even if the barrel has damage it can easily be temporarily replaced with a new one. New parts for this model are readily available online.
I forgot to mention that this revolver could be used with three different types of loads. The first is loaded directly into the front of the cylinder. It's powder, ball, and wax. Second is a paper cartridge loaded from the back. Third was a foil cartridge loaded from the back. All three types required a percussion cap to fire.
I remember when you pull that up. To know you’ve had it restored and it works it’s phenomenal. Hope you get the actual identity love the peace. So cool. Waiting for the next adventure!❤️🙏😎
Thanks yeah it turned out great I’ve had a lot of people asking “what happened to it” but now I can finally say it’s restored 😃😃😃😂👍👍👍👍
@@BondiTreasureHunter So happy for you, you have so many cool treasures. Keep throwing that magnet my friend!! ❤️🙏😎
Imagine an Assassin's Creed game located in 17th century Amsterdam.
If only this came true 😍
It could be a Galand gun because of the extra finger support. But Galand was from Belgium not NY
Hi Leigh, just a shot in the dark , excuse the pun, but have you already checked out the Rollin White patent improvement in repeating firearms for the Colt M1861 Navy US12648A - it might help? (I google searched using Rollin White US12648A ) Rollin White was in Conneticut (like Samuel Colt) possibly a tristate connection and why there is the 'NY' stamp ?
........Good Luck all the Same and Well Done Hannie....Stay Safe🤙
1ST MODEL 1ST TYPE GRISWOLD & GUNNISON REVOLVER.
There's one listed at an online auction that looks the same except the finger rest
Henny has it together, you made some great friends there in Amsterdam
That is so cool. I really enjoyed seeing that old revolver. Check with smith and Wesson or other brands of guns. Maybe they help identify it.
That is such a cool find!! I can’t believe that was the same gun. He did such a great job restoring it!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for sharing this with us!!🤙🏻☺️🐬
WOW I remember when you found it. He did a great job in restoring it.
Good memory it was a while ago now. Sorry it took so long 😃👍
Don't you dare turn that in so someone else can put it on there wall
I. Love. What. You. Said you. Were. So. Stoked
What a beautiful pistol . Best magnet find ever. Well done🤠👍
A whole year in oil! 😮 WOW! Great find and restore! ❤
That's amazing.😊 Good job Hennie 😊🤘
That is so cool, too bad the wooden part is gone, what a cool find ❤
or a replica from a black powder revolver
There should have been a date on it where it says patent ny it may have worn off the date represents when the person applied for the patent of this gun
That’s a shame it wore off then we could have solved this mystery!
It looks like the civil war dragoons they call em in Omaha Nebraska museum dragoon pistol
Truly amazing! Fantastic find! Good job on the restore! Thank you for showing us!
Cheers mate 😃🍺👍
It looks like a reproduction colt from the 1850's. You might check with Dixie Gunworks in Tennesse, They sell all kinds of parts for these old guns. The Brass frame finish indicates it is a modern reproduction that is kind of styled after the Walker/ Dragoon model colts which were all in 0.44 caliber and had round barrels.. The confederates made some brass framed copies during the American civil war. So you might check sites that talk about the arms of the American Civil war.
Such a cool historical find for sure! I don't really know much about guns but cleaning up old rusty metal I've got something to pass along to Heni (spelling?). A good trick to try is using a mix, or cocktail (not the drinking kind) of not only a good penatrating oil but Also use automatic transmission fluid. This will be VERY helpful for breaking down the rust crusticles and allowing for the further cleaning and restoration. Again, super cool historical find! 🤙🤙🤙❤❤❤😀😃😁
Fantastic find to add to ur collection.. cant believe how great it came up 👍
Hola.desde uruguay.te sigo hace poquito tiempo,y me pregunto si no hay traducción al español.gracias
Colt 1851 Navy Percussion Revolver
Early Colt Made in 1856, pre Civil war
Around $2,495.00 in good condition
Fantastic find !!!! Congratulations. You could start a museum. Love all your videos. You guys are great together. 😃❤🌹
Come out with more vids like watching u and ur buds
The gun looks like a gun for a dual in the 1800’s, maybe New York would be able to identify it,great find! 👩🏼👏🏽👍🏼🇨🇦It would be a amazing to identify what kind of handle goes on it,
as HQCOMMS65 said, looks to be a Navy Colt Percussion revolver, mid to late 1800s, due to the screws, with a long nose barrel and "Gentleman's grip" so its possible it could have been a naval or trade ship captain's own personal gun. Seeing as New York was once named New Amsterdam, and that New York had a great trade relationship with Amsterdam, its very possible that it was a captain had an argument on or near the dock, its washed up and moved, while drunk! Or canoodling in the red light with the wrong woman... who knows! Either way its an awesome find!
Hook up with the stars of America's TVshow, Pawn Stars. They and their experts are very, very knowledgeable.
Im quite sure this is a Russian or Russan Empire ( also Helsinki Finnland ) copy from a colt No.1 or No.2 from 1850 -1860. Colt sold these liscenses. Tula Gunsmiths ( Russian Gunsmith Petr Gultyakov ) sometimes fitted this Trigger guard ( middle finger rest ). It was a belt or saddle gun. I've sent you Infos over messenger.
The Gun is most likely from 1850-1870’s time. Probably.31, 36, or 44 caliber. Check with Navy Arms Company it appears similar to the Black powder pistol I bought from them years ago, Also send picture to a gun museum and inquire! When you send picture have a ruler in pictures. Sometimes they can do verification of an original, replication or modified by the length of the barrel. Also make sure to include pictures of any screws. Guns only used slot head screws until recently, Phillips (cross head screws) indicate repaired or replicated guns.
This would make a nice Wall Hanger.
Thats a 1860 army colt revolver and modified for either a rich businessman or other wealthy individual. That is a special find. A good condition 1860 revolver with loading lever goes between $5500.00 and $10,000.00.
Amazing find. Henny is a genius to restore the gun. Oh if that gun could talk! Imagine the stories it would tell!
Yeah I don’t know how Hannie put it back together. Such a great job to keep it going 👌
G'day from Switzerland mate!it looks like a very rare confederate civil war gun from 1851 with a special grip holder under the trigger!(Rare)maybe specially made!Anyway, keep on diggin!!!Great video again!you gotta come over here one day!I'm from Sydney 2!!
Colt 1851 or 1861 Army revolver, but might be a Navy. Should be .36 cal., and you should be able to get replacement grips. It could be a Uberti or Pietta replica as well, and grips made by either company should fit as both companies reproduction replicas are very well made!
You can use a spring from a pen that should work!
Really! How cool would that be 😃🤙
Dual Colt Army Model Whitneyville Walker. The same gun that Outlaw Josey Wales carried! Great find!
It is a 1800’s TRANTER pistol made in England by William Tranter. They are very rare and yours is worth over $2,000usd. Great find
Definitely based on Samuel Colt’s percussion revolvers design, but the brass frame indicates it is not an actual Colt. I would guess it is a European copy of a Colt Dragoon. The spur trigger guard was more popular in Europe. If there are any legible markings that might help identify it. Belgian guns for example would have proof marks. As would modern Italian replicas.
Did you search through u.s. patents? It could be a gun that never got produced. Like an invention someone got a patent for, but it went nowhere? Maybe?
New York patents is a good start. Trace the patent number, see who filed for it. ?? Good luck!!
I came across an officers gun, with gentlemen’s trigger, 6 shooter, also a lot of smith & Wesson’s with gentlemen’s trigger. Hope this helps, if you think about it, the naval ships or ships of some sorts, went up & down., just throwing things out there, love the channel, do you have email
that looks like a model 1860 or a navy colt revolver. Who ever threw that in the canal had no idea that its a museum piece.
In no way am I confident but other than a difference with the barrel looks like the colt dragoon
Hey Leah try contacting the Leeds royal armouries museum.
I’ve been there and they literally have every gun that was ever made. Might help. Someone will know.
I’m thinking it might be a colt prototype.
Send your pics to the Leeds guys.
WD40 works so well because it’s a solvent, not a lubricant. Hopefully those parts got some love with a little gun oil afterwards.
I shoot black powder pistols mostly 1851 & 1860 Army & Navy style, you should know the brass frame has been modified or retrofitted with a Cartridge Conversion, and it looks like it was built from a few other pistols if you can post some detailed photos of both sides it would help.. also look on the barrel there should be some marking on it.
Just watching all your pass videos and with this one if have have joined a few years ago I could have told you to ask the Royal Armouries museum in Leeds as they have records of all types of guns and I'm pretty sure they could identify it from a picture sent to them.
You could try contacting the NRA (National Rifleman's Association) in the USA to see if they have any type of methodolgy for identifying old guns. I would think that they are one of the best resources for that kind of information.
Step away from the edge next time when you’re handling your find.. One slip and it’s back in the water
Hey guys I'm Kentucky I'm trying to do some research on the revolver you found. Do you know what caliper is may be. You may be able to take a micrometer and check the inside diameter of the cylinder. If you can find out what caliper it is may help a bit. Thanks guys hope I can help
Looks like a Pietta 1851 Reb Nord Confederate Navy .44 Cal Black Powder Revolver
Looks to be a black powder .44 caliber. There are many reproduction "kit guns". They kick like a mule when fired. The leaver under the barrel is used to pack the wad. This would shoot mini balls.
So Bondi, the lever you pulled doesn't load the gun. That wouldn't be efficient. What it is, is the ejector for the empty cartridge. So you load it, and when you cock it, it lines up a bullet to fire. Then you use the ejector to get the used cartridge out. Us Texans love our guns! Congrats on the find.
Looks like my colt 1851 confederate navy. Mine is a replica made by an italian company. The 1851 navy was made during the american civil war in the south, but due to a lack of material they made the part that holds the cylinder out of brass
I think it’s an 1851 Navy six shot percussion revolver.
I don’t think that is a trigger extension. I think it’s the metal insert from what have been the front of the handle that’s become bent.
I can send a pic of what I mean if you like?
Thanks
Stephen
I bet this comment section will be filled with a slew of gun preprogrammed fearmongers who think you two were dangerous with a non working gun. Even cap guns in a store will trigger them! This should be very entertaining as they sweat and panic at a old rusty empty nonworking partial gun.
Edit: What an awesome find!
Bro looks like calvery 1870 1880 ciould be a replica Austria calvery
I believe that that gun is a 1858 Confederate Pistol.
The only reason I say that is because they were running out of metal in the South and they started using brass.
If you look at 1860 pistol the barrel is very long in the whole gun Was made up of metal. And that would have been the Union pistol.
Modern firearms are packed in grease when they’ve been stored for years. Brass is a softer metal ; the barrels are sometimes charcoalized which hardens the steel better and may have been better than blueing. The cylinder is six so slang would be six gun . The numbers were hand stamped. I didn’t know Hannie did this great job men .
The brass part puzzles me, as one would expect marking of some sort, certainly in that condition, but in the video it seems completely blank?
Black powder revolver??
the pistol looks like it could have been made in the southern states during the civil war0, they used a lot of bras because they lacked iron. The loading ram looks like a colts but the cyulinders were either bored out or replaced with a cartridge cylinder which would probably date it to about 1870 or so since smith and Wesson owned the patent on cartrige / bored thru cylinders. and the hammer doesn't look like it has a cup for the percussion cap which were pretty standard to keep tiny splinters under control. Unless I am missing something the hammer looks like it may be for a rimfire cartridge.. I am not an expert , though. It doesn't look like a modern reproduction to me.
Lee and Henny, his is just a suggestion, You know you have a video camera when you take something apart you can video tape yourself taking it apart and then set the pieces back up how you took them apart just backwards and that will help you put it back together. you two are silly.
I'm sure Gun Jesus at the Forgotten Weapons channel could immediately tell what kind of gun that is
Awesome find Lee!! How about a pearl handle? Definitely a gentleman’s gun then! Maybe used for a duel?! So many stories to be hold!! Great video and even better find!! 🕊
Ohhhhhh now your talking! A real treasure hunter style. I like where your heads at 👌🙌😃
Clint Eastwood,had a gun just like this in the movie where he plays the preacher. The movie was Pale Rider.
You should be able to look up the patent number online. May help identify it
I tried but no luck so far. I’ve also contacted the Colt archives and they couldn’t match it either… we’ll keep trying!
@@BondiTreasureHunter if you are comfortable post the serial number and patent number for it. I’m sure your fans will help out. I’ll help if nothing else.
I know this is probably a little late but did you try remmington they made a very similar one 1857 I think
Pistol for dueling??? Patent in New York maybe. Not so simple a gun but Hennie is a gun master. The man has skills.
it could be a PIETTA 1851 US MARSHALL .44
