Description:
This is a nice original Colt Pocket with an inscribed to Congressional Medal of Honor Recipent Samuel Hymer. His details will be added below. This Colt has a nice look to it, with a nice honest patina and the straps still retain approximately half their silver finish. The grip has the majority of the original factory varnish. Mechanically works. This example sold back in 2016 and Cowans for $9,200 after buyers premium. Priced to hopefully get a quick sale! Shipping is $30 plus actual insurance cost. All serious offers considered. Thanks!
