BRITISH PROOFED Antique COLT NEW LINE .32 Caliber RF ETCHED PANEL Revolver
Conceal & Carry Made in 1874
Here we present an antique London Proofed Etched Panel Colt New Line .32 Caliber Rimfire 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. 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 of the .32 calibers were produced.
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 hard rubber grips.
The New Line series of revolvers, including all calibers, was a single action pocket revolver introduced by the Colt’s Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company in 1873 and continued through 1884. Two years after the Colt House Revolver, a year after the Colt Open Top, and almost simultaneously alongside the Colt Peacemaker, the Colt New Line was one of the first metallic cartridge, rear-loading revolvers manufactured by Colt.
The overall condition is excellent. Original nickel finish has been preserved. Nice etched panel. Strong action. Bright, nicely rifled bore. Both grips remain in fine shape. Legible markings. London proofs. Here is a very handsome and collectible specimen of the Colt New Line .32!
