LONDON RETAILER Marked Antique COLT “NEW LINE” .22 RF ETCHED PANEL Revolver
Nickel Plated SELF DEFENSE Hideout Revolver
Here we present an antique London Retailer Marked Etched Panel Colt New Line .22 Revolver, made in 1877 in Hartford, Connecticut. The New Line was a single action pocket revolver introduced by the Colt’s Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company in 1873 and continued through 1884, with the .22 caliber being manufactured between 1873 and 1877 with a total of roughly 55,343 being manufactured.
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. It was designed to be a handy pocket-carry revolver, chambered in .22 rimfire, which was very popular for self-defense in those days. The revolver features 7 shots of .22 rimfire. Of all the Colt “New Line” revolvers made, the .22 caliber was the only one featuring a 7 shot cylinder. All other calibers utilized a 5-shot cylinder. Etched on the left side of the barrel is “COLT NEW 22”.
The backstrap on this example is marked “F.T. Baker 88 Fleet St. London”. According to the book “British Gunmakers, Vol. I & II” by Nigel Brown, Frederick T. Baker took over the business of Thomas Kerslake Baker at 88 Fleet Street in London in 1857. He moved to 21 Cockspur Street in Southwest London between 1882 and 1898, and then back to 88 Fleet Street between 1899 and 1900.
