It's beautiful! Love the grips. First cap-n-ball revolver I had was a Hawes 1851 Navy back in 1972. The 51 Navy ASM's I have still fits my hands the best. You can't beat an 1851 Navy in the percussion or conversion cylinder mode for looks or feel in my opinion. I am going to have to pick one up as soon as I am financially able. Great article!
