Description:
To see more Colts, Winchesters, Knives, Nautical, and other quality antiques, visit Jeremiah Johnson Trading at JeremiahJohnsonTrading ~Trades and offers are always considered~ RARE Gustave Young Factory Engraved M1849 Colt Pocket Pistol with Burl Grips, Contemporary Case & Accessories, .31 cal, mfg. 1852 with 5" barrel. This is a fantastic, 100% original and untouched example of a very early engraved '49 Colt, featuring one of Gustave Young's earlier patterns which was introduced in 1852. The frame, hammer, and loading lever have small yet vivid traces of case color in protected areas, while the balance has faded to a gray patina. The barrel and cylinder have turned a plum/gray color, while the backstrap and triggergard retain 85%+ original Silver finish. The engraving is very crisp throughout, and even the original fire blued screws are engraved. Matching serial numbers visible on the frame, triggerguard, backstrap, barrel, cylinder, and loading lever. The wedge is un-numbered as many were but appears original. A punch is visible on the barrel, frame, triggerguard, and backstrap. Colt used this mark to designate parts which were to be engraved. "COLT'S PATENT" is engraved on the side of the frame, and "Sam'l Colt" is script engraved on the top barrel flat. These markings were generally engraved in this fashion on engraved guns rather than the typical stamped markings found on standard finish guns. The select grade Burl wood grips are original and fit the gun perfectly. They have no chips, cracks, or repairs whatsoever and even retain 70% of their original varnish. The action is crisp and functions flawlessly, and the nipples are all clean originals. The bore has good, strong rifling with lightly scattered black powder frosting. The case is contemporary but very well made and displays quite nicely. The flask, cap tin and nipple pick are older reproductions. The bullet mould is an original .31 cal Colt mould and is in relatively good condition for it's age. Upon close inspection you can just barely see the end of "COLT'S PATENT" stamped on top. Overall this is a well above average condition, sound, and original example of a very rare Gustave Young engraved Colt Pocket Pistol. No FFL required on pre-1899 firearms.
