Description:
Tiffany gripped Model 1849 Colt Pocket Model. A truly unique revolver, being the only known Tiffany gripped Model 1849 Colt with the American Eagle motif. According to Robert Jordan and Darrow Watt, authors of "Colt's Pocket '49, It's Evolution". During the percussion era, four designs were available: the American eagle, the Mexican Eagle, the Civil War Battle Scene, and the Missionary and Child scene. We only know of two Pocket 49's that were outfitted with Tiffany style grips, both are one line New Yorkers. One has an American Eagle, the other a Mexican Eagle design". This gun was advertised by Al Kelley and Jack Malloy in 1967 as having 10% original silver and gold finish, very clean and crisp, with no rust or pitting, and factory engraved by Gustave Young, with original Tiffany grips. Since then the finish has been restored and it has been cased with excellent accessories. The condition of the gun and case is exceptional. The engraving is sharp and totally untouched and the bore is nearly mint. This gun did not need polishing when it was restored, the original silver and gold having simply drifted with age, being very thin from its 1863 manufacture date. The cylinder scene is crisp and complete and of course, all numbered parts are matching. Truely outstanding, this is certainly an investment piece, because of its rarity and condition. Questions, feel free to talk to Charles. PRICE: $27,500 We are Antique & Modern Firearms in Lexington, KY, dealer of fine firearms since 1974. PH. 859-276-1419 We Buy, Sell and Trade.
