Major Byron Cutcheon's Colt 1851 Navy and Medal of Honor

A Colt Model 1851 Navy revolver used by Major Byron Cutcheon during the Civil War in the battle which earned him the Medal of Honor, is examined by Firearms Specialist Logan Metesh at the NRA National Firearms Museum in Fairfax, Virginia. Originally aired on NRATV 02/15/18.


From 2014-2018, I was the Firearms Specialist for the NRA Museums. This was filmed while I worked in that capacity.
