Description:
Rare and extremely in demand we offer this factory engraved Colt model 1862 revolver. In 1861 Colt introduced two new pocket model revolvers in the more powerful .36 caliber chambering. Until that time, all of Colt’s “Pocket” guns had been .31 caliber, or in the case of some of the Root revolver production, .28 caliber. These new pocket revolvers can be considered “scaled up” 1849 Pocket Models or scaled down Belt Pistols (aka “Navy” models), as both guns had features of their smaller and larger siblings. The two new models were known as the Model 1862 Police and the Model 1862 Pocket Navy. The Colt Model 1862 Police Revolver offered here is in about VERY GOOD+ condition. The revolver is serial number 9055 and was produced in 1862. The revolver has a 6 ½” barrel and the typical fluted cylinder of the 1862 Police Model. The top of the barrel is marked in a single line with the usual New York address and reads:
ADDRESS COL SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA
Consignee stated this is one of Colt's factory scroll engraving patterns. Overall, this is very attractive and desirable example of a mid-Civil War production Colt Model 1862 Police revolver, produced in 1862. The gun remains crisp mechanically with perfect timing and retains some nice traces of original finish. The 1862 Police is literally ten times less common than the 1849 Pocket, so the chances to obtain a nice example come along very rarely. This is a very attractive example of a .36 Colt Police that will be a nice addition to your collection of Colt percussion revolvers or Civil War era handguns. Pre 98’ arms are skyrocketing in value because of their unique designs, quality of construction and rarity. Once they are absorbed in the collector’s market they are basically “GONE”. Hard assets are the wave of the future. Being a antique it will require no ATF paper work for the transaction. For payment I will accept personal checks, money orders, certified check or cashiers’ check, all major credit cards. Credit cards are acceptable with a 4% up-charge for processing. Personal checks require 8 business days to clear the bank, all other forms of payment receive same day as received shipment. You are responsible for any state and local laws. By purchase of this item, you release the seller from any liability that may arise due to use or misuse of this firearm. Thanks for looking and if you have any questions give me a call or text 931-303-6739. Thank you for your time and attention to our products.
