KOLB Folding Trigger “BABY HAMMERLESS” .22 SELF DEFENSE Pocket Revolver C&R
Turn of the Century CONCEAL/CARRY Handgun
Here Ancestry Guns presents a C&R Kolb “BABY HAMMERLESS” .22 Rimfire Folding Trigger Revolver, made circa the Turn of the Century in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This design seems to have originated with the company Foehl & Weeks, though they probably did not have the opportunity to begin production before they went bankrupt. The Columbian Firearms Manufacturing Company, as the company was renamed, is thought to have produced the first examples. However, it was Henry Kolb, an immigrant from Germany, who was given the patents that are marked on this gun, therefore his name is most associated with it.
This tiny .22 revolver features hard rubber grips and a nickel finish. The hammer is enclosed and the trigger folds up, making it advantageous to carry and even shoot from a jacket pocket. You can imagine that, then as now, a person might want a small firearm with which to defend themselves. Tiny revolvers were the order of the day ever since Smith & Wesson introduced the single action No. 1. Double action revolvers were the next evolution as the 19th became the 20th Century. The Baby Hammerless was small and light, thus easy to carry, and 6 shots of .22 is far better than nothing in most situations.
Overall condition is good. Original nickel finish. The bore is good for its age, is dark and shows thinned rifling. The action does not function. Markings are legible. Both grips are good.
