Really like that BP Colt 1851 Navy. Is that 36 cal? Great photos.
It is Dad's. I believe it is 44 caliber though. I do know it is the Navy pistol. It was from the Boy Scouts from back when I was in for all his work.I think that may be my Dad's. I'll have to ask him.
I know he brought the black powder rifle.
I didn't know he brought the pistol.
I'll ask.

I didn't know that the Boy Scouts issued pistols.
I thought it was his from his Coast Guard days at the battle of New Orleans, long after his days with (then lieutenant) Farragut.
Please forward to your dad.
As Actaeon stated, the families donated and bought one for him because of all his work and contributions. As my dad was Coast Guard, they wanted to get him the Navy pistol.I didn't know that the Boy Scouts issued pistols.
