Antique COLT “NEW LINE” .30 RF ETCHED PANEL Pocket Revolver PEARL GRIPS
Nickel Plated SELF DEFENSE Hideout Revolver
Here we present an antique Etched Panel Colt New Line .30 Caliber 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 and outnumbered all other pistols in Colt’s “New Line” group. This revolver utilized a .30 caliber cartridge matched to a 5-shot fluted cylinder fitted to a 2-1/4” long round barrel. The .30 caliber models were manufactured between 1874 and 1876 with 10,946 revolvers being 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 .30 caliber, a handsome wizened nickel finish and pearl 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 very fine. Original nickel finish. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The mother of pearl grips are solid. Numbers match.
