Description:
1874 Antique Nickel COLT NEW LINE .32 Cal. Rimfire Revolver Pocket Hideout
WILD WEST Potent Conceal & Carry Hideout Gun
Here we present an antique Colt New Line .32 Caliber Revolver, made in 1874 in Hartford, Connecticut. A single action revolver, this small pocket revolver was one of a number of inexpensive handguns produced by Colt from 1873 to 1884. The “New Line” was Colt’s first production model handgun chambered for .32 caliber and outnumbered all other pistols in Colt’s “New Line” group. This revolver utilized a .32 rimfire cartridge matched to a 5-shot fluted cylinder fitted to a 2 ¼” long round barrel.
About 22,000 were produced in this caliber. This revolver was designed to be a small but potent self-defense revolver for stowing in one’s pocket in the 19th Century. Spur Trigger “Suicide Special” manufacture was fierce during this time, and Colt struggled to compete against the countless small shops making very similar, less expensive revolvers, though not necessarily of the same quality. The Colt remained a steady, reliable force in firearms for much longer than the rest.
This revolver features 5 shots of .32 Rimfire, a handsome wizened nickel finish and rosewood grips. The top of the barrel reads “COLT’S PT. F. A. MFG. CO./HARTFORD CT USA”.
The overall condition is very good. Original nickel finish. The action is strong and the cylinder indexes properly and locks up tight, but the hammer does not hold the half-cock notch. The bore is in good shape with sharp rifling. The grips are in nice condition. Numbers match.
Here is a very handsome and collectible specimen of the Colt New Line .32!
