Description:
London Proofed COLT “NEW POCKET” .32 Long Colt DOUBLE ACTION Revolver C&R
First Double Action Swing Out Cylinder Made by COLT
Here we present a C&R Colt New Pocket Model Double Action Revolver, made in 1902 by the Colt Manufacturing Company with a production run from 1893 through 1905 in Hartford, Connecticut.
The New Pocket followed the introduction of Colt's first large frame Double Action revolvers known as the Model 1889 Navy and Model 1892 New Army and Navy. These were the first Colts with a swing-out cylinder, with most of these early revolvers going to the U.S. Navy and U.S. Army and is a design concept that is still found today on all modern day double action revolvers.
This revolver was available in both .32 Long Colt and .32 S&W. It holds 6 shots and was offered in barrel lengths of 2-1/2”, 3-1/2”, 5”, and 6”. The frame is stamped “Colt’s New Pocket” and was available in either a blued or nickel plated finish. This nice little revolver has pearl grips with the oval Colt emblem embedded in them.
There were approximately 30,000 of the little self defense revolvers manufactured during its 12 year production run. This is a pretty scarce little revolver, and you don’t see a lot of these that are antique floating around.
The overall condition is good. This example has been refinished in nickel. Strong action, but the trigger returns slowly and is a bit gummed up likely do to over oiling. The bore is mostly bright with a frosted appearance at the muzzle. Both grips are vibrant and fiery, but the left toe is damaged. The grips are seated firmly. Legible markings. London proofed.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 2-1/2 inches.
