Description:
CIVIL WAR Antique COLT Model 1849 Pocket REVOLVER
Made In 1863
Here we present an antique percussion Colt 1849 Pocket Revolver, made in 1863 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 Colt 1849 Pocket comes with its original leather flap holster. The revolver is marked with Colt’s single line New York address. The holster is a bit delicate but certainly a very neat and scarce addition to this revolver!
The overall condition is very good. There is an even gray patina on the steel surfaces. The brass grip frame has a mellow patina with verdigris around the edges. The markings are clear. The serial numbers match. The grip is in great shape. The bore is in good condition with distinct rifling. The action is strong. Here is a great little sidearm and holster from the American Civil War!
