Description:
Got an antique Colt Pocket Revolver, made circa 1868 in Hartford, Connecticut, and converted to .38 rimfire at the Colt factory circa 1869. Only about 2,000 of these conversions were done at the factory. The factory conversion of Colt’s percussion line coincided with the expiration of the S&W owned Rollin White Patent, from which Smith & Wesson benefitted greatly and owned the market for cartridge revolvers for years. Firearms like this helped Colt stay in business until their next big breakthrough since the American Civil War, the Model 1873 Single Action Army.
One of the most aesthetically pleasing aspects of this revolver is its cylinder scene. Cylinder scenes during this period were common, especially for Colt, not only for their visual appeal, but because it made a revolver more difficult to forge. The scene on the 1849 Pocket is that of a stagecoach robbery. The focal point is the stagecoach drawn by four horses. A woman in a dress is seen framed in the doorway of the side of the coach. The driver is standing alongside wielding his pistol against multiple assailants as the horses rear and struggle against their harnesses. Several of the bandits lay dying on the ground, one tries to control the horses, two are running away and one is in the process of falling dead after being shot. Not a bad way to show interested buyers what a pistol like this would be good for.
This example is neat in that one can clearly see that this revolver was originally made for .31 percussion as marked on the trigger guard, then marked over. All numbers match
We tried to get pictures of every maker's mark, logo, stamp, cartouche and whatever we could find. Look closely at the pictures as what you see is what you get. Please check the pictures to check condition.
Opinion here, and our knowledge is less than ZERO on these firearms. We tried to get a close of detail as we could. The revolver is functional. The hammer locked backed and released. We did NOT allow it to fall. Just released. Cyllinder rotated and lined up with the barrel as it is supposed to. Also tried to figure out how to remove the cylinder and get some bore and chamber pictures but could not find anything to show me how from a You Tube Video to some one some where detailing it on line. The cylinder will turn with the hammer back sometimes like the spring is week.
You are welcome to ask questions and ask for additional pictures. We have only listed 25 as that is all allowed.
This came from the one of five estates we represent of an FFL/SOT Gun Smith, Gun Store. There will be countless other listings ranging from firearms from antique to modern to custom. There will be countless non firearms from vintage ammo to "take off" parts to just whatever a store accumulates. All of this for the past 4 years as well as the next 4 to 5 years. We are selling for the each of the five estate/store. This is NOT a liquidation. We DID NOT buy them out. There are no lists and will be no lists.
