1875 mfr. PARIS RETAILER Antique COLT NEW LINE .38 CF Self Defense Revolver
Very Nice FRENCH Faure le Page address on Top Strap
Here Ancestry Guns presents an antique French Retailer Marked Colt New Line.38 Caliber Centerfire Revolver, made in 1875 with a production run between 1874 and 1880 in Hartford, Connecticut. A single action revolver, this small pocket revolver was one of a number of inexpensive handguns produced by Colt from 1873 to 1884. The “New Line” was Colt’s first production model handgun chambered for .38 caliber and outnumbered all other pistols in Colt’s “New Line” group. This revolver utilized a .38 cartridge matched to a 5-shot fluted cylinder fitted to a 2-1/4” long round barrel. About 12,516 were produced in .38 caliber during its six year production run.
This revolver was designed to be a small but potent self-defense revolver for stowing in one’s pocket in the 19th Century. Spur Trigger manufacture was fierce during this time, and Colt struggled to compete against the countless small shops making very similar, less expensive revolvers, though not necessarily of the same quality. The Colt remained a steady, reliable force in firearms for much longer than the rest. This revolver features 5 shots of .38 caliber, a blued finish and rosewood grips.
The overall condition is very fine. Original finish is preserved. Some chipping is present at the muzzle. Excellent action. Bright, rifled bore. Fine grips. Markings are sharp. Engraved with the “Faure le Page, Paris” retailer address. Visible numbers match. Here is a very handsome and collectible specimen of the Colt New Line .38!
