FINE 1877 Antique COLT Open Top 22 POCKET Revolver
Description: FINE 1877 Antique COLT Open Top 22 POCKET Revolver HIDEOUT Concealable Pistol for Civilians Here we present an antique Colt Open Top .22 Pocket Revolver, made in 1877 in Hartford, Connecticut. These revolvers were made for self-defense. They were introduced in 1871, shortly after the Smith & Wesson held Rollin White Patent expired, opening the floodgates to a hungry market that had been dying to fully implement metallic cartridge firearms loaded into a totally bored through cylinder—from 1857 to 1869 S&W had exclusivity with these concepts and rightfully dominated the marketplace. The idea was to provide the commercial market with a very small and concealable firearm. Not everyone was a cowboy and carried Colt’s Single Action Army. Many civilians may not have carried if not for something that they could stick in their pocket, purse or muff, much like today. The Open Top was relatively successful for a time, with 7 shots of .22 rimfire, but production ceased by about 1877 due to very stiff competition from a plethora of companies making similar but cheaper versions known today as “Suicide Specials”. Overall condition is fine. The nickel finish is about 75% complete. The markings are clear and legible. Serial numbers match. The grips are smooth and sound. Front sight blade is absent. The bore is in good condition. The action is excellent. A great little Colt! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 2-3/8 inches. Caliber: .22 Rimfire Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $675 #6409 SOLD Antique: Yes |
