Description:
Kolb-Sedgley “BABY HAMMERLESS” .22 Short Revolver
Made Circa 1920s w Mother of Pearl Grips!
Here we present a Sedgley “BABY HAMMERLESS MODEL 1916” .22 Revolver, made circa the 1920s in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This design seems to have originated with the company Foehl & Weeks, though they probably did not have the opportunity to begin production before they went bankrupt. The Columbian Firearms Manufacturing Company, as the company was renamed, is thought to have produced the first examples. However, it was Henry Kolb, an immigrant from Germany, who was given the 1910 patents that are marked on this gun, therefore his name is most associated with it. This piece was most likely manufactured by Reginald F. Sedgley (b. 1876), an English immigrant to Philadelphia in 1894, who was a machinist, gunsmith and gun maker. He bought out Kolb in 1916.
This tiny .22 revolver features mother of pearl grips and a blue finish. The hammer is enclosed and the trigger folds up, making it advantageous to carry and even shoot from a jacket pocket. You can imagine that, then as now, a person might want a small firearm with which to defend themselves. Tiny revolvers were the order of the day ever since Smith & Wesson introduced the single action No. 1. Double action revolvers were the next evolution as the 19th became the 20th Century. The Baby Hammerless was small and light, thus easy to carry, and 6 shots of .22 is far better than nothing in most situations.
Overall condition is near fine. The blue finish is about 40%. The markings are clear and legible. The mother of pearl grips are solid and luminescent. The bore in very good condition. The action is excellent. Here is a gorgeous little pocket revolver from the 1920s!
