ANTEBELLUM Pre-CIVIL WAR Antique COLT M1849 POCKET .31 PERCUSSION Revolver
WILD WEST/FRONTIER SIX-SHOOTER Made In 1860
Here we present an antique Colt Model 1849 Percussion Pocket Revolver, made in 1860 in Hartford, Connecticut, just one year before the start of the American Civil War. The Model 1849 Pocket, the replacement for the Baby Dragoon, was the most widely produced of any Colt percussion pistol. Nearly 340,000 were manufactured during its 23-year production run that ended in 1873. Over 280,000 of these were produced by Colt’s factory at Hartford by the end of the American Civil War in 1865.
One of the most aesthetically pleasing aspects of the 1849 Pocket 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. These were very popular and saw a lot of use on the battlefield, on the home front and in the West. These were some of the smallest, handiest pocket revolvers of the time.
The overall condition is fine. Much original barrel blue is preserved, with a mixed gray/brown patina on the cylinder and frame. Excellent action. The bore maintains strong rifling, has dimmed with most of its shimmer holding at the breech. Excellent grip, minimal handling evidence. Numbers match, including the wedge! The cylinder scene is intact and well-defined.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
