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 “WATSON & HANCOCK/308 HIGH HOLBORN/LONDON”. From Nigel Brow's British Gunmakers, they were at 313 High Holborn between 1868 to 1881. Then, 308 High Holborn between1882 to 1890.
The overall condition is fine. Original nickel finish. Excellent action. The bore is in good condition. Legible markings. Numbers match. Both grips are seated firmly and remains solid.
