Description:
Antique Colt 1849 Pocket Revolver with Long Barrel
Civil War Produced w Great Stagecoach Robbery Scene
Here we present an antique Colt 1849 Pocket Revolver, made in 1862 in Hartford, Connecticut. Over 280,000 of these were produced by Colt’s factory at Hartford by the end of the American Civil War in 1865. These were very popular and saw a lot of use on the battlefield, on the home front and in the West. These were some of the smallest, handiest pocket revolvers of the time.
One of the most aesthetically pleasing aspects of this pistol is its cylinder scene. Cylinder scenes during this period were common, especially for Colt, not only for their visual appeal, but because it made a revolver more difficult to forge. The scene on the 1849 Pocket is that of a stagecoach robbery. The focal point is the stagecoach drawn by four horses. A woman in a dress is seen framed in the doorway of the side of the coach. The driver is standing alongside wielding his pistol against multiple assailants as the horses rear and struggle against their harnesses. Several of the bandits lay dying on the ground, one tries to control the horses, two are running away and one is in the process of falling dead after being shot. Not a bad way to show interested buyers what a pistol like this would be good for.
This specimen is in very good overall condition. It features a longer than typical barrel at 6 inches. The markings are legible. The metal surfaces have a pleasing dark gray patina. The cylinder scene is completely visible and in very good condition. The walnut grips are in very good condition with most of the original varnish, with a little wear on the flared edges. The action is excellent. Bore is in very good plus condition, well-rifled and shiny. All serial numbers match.
