BRITISH PROOFED Antique COLT NEW LINE .32 Caliber CF ETCHED PANEL Revolver
Conceal & Carry Made in 1881
Here we present an antique London Proofed Etched Panel Colt New Line .32 Caliber Revolver, made in 1881 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 centerfire 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.
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 very fine. Original nickel and blue finish. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The rosewood grips are in fine shape.
