Chambered in .31 percussion and had a capacity of 5 shots. Colt’s primary marketing for this “1848 Pocket Pistol” was in California with success during the Gold Rush days. With the addition of the loading lever, this revolver evolved into the 1849 Pocket Revolver. Though worn off on this example, the early versions had the Texas Ranger and Indian fight scene engraved on the cylinder, whereas the later examples featured a stagecoach holdup scene.
The overall condition is fine. Very old refinish. The action is strong. The cylinder indexes to each chamber just fine but there is one chamber that does not advance when the hammer is resting on it and then cocked. Nice bore. Numbers match (100). Solid grip with a small chip in the left toe. A very scarce Colt with a very low and desirable serial number!
