c1877 mfr PIPE CASED LONDON Antique COLT NEW LINE .38 ETCHED PANEL Revolver
With FITTED CASE, Cleaning Rod and FIVE CARTRIDGES
Here we present an antique Cased Etched Panel British Proofed Colt New Line .38 Caliber Revolver, made in 1877 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 .38 caliber and outnumbered all other pistols in Colt’s “New Line” group. This revolver utilized a .38 cartridge matched to a 5-shot fluted cylinder fitted to a 2 ¼” long round barrel. About 12,516 were produced in .38 caliber during its six year production run between 1874 and 1880.
This revolver was designed to be a small but potent self-defense revolver for stowing in one’s pocket in the 19th Century.. This revolver features 5 shots of .38 caliber, a handsome wizened nickel finish and rosewood 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 fine. Original nickel finish and fire blue accent. London proofs. The numbers match. The action is excellent with great cylinder lockup. The rosewood grips are in fine condition. Nice bore with good rifling. The pipe case is about the size of a modern glasses case and is itself in fine condition. A great set!
