ENGRAVED Antique COLT “NEW LINE” .30 RF Pocket Revolver PEARL GRIPS
WILD WEST/FRONTIER Hideout ETCHED PANEL Revolver
Here Ancestry Guns presents an antique Engraved Etched Panel Colt New Line .30 Caliber Revolver, made in 1875 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 .32 caliber and outnumbered all other pistols in Colt’s “New Line” group. This revolver utilized a .30 caliber cartridge matched to a 5-shot fluted cylinder fitted to a 2-1/4” long round barrel. The .30 caliber models were manufactured between 1874 and 1876 with 10,946 revolvers being produced, making this chambering harder to come by compared to the other calibers.
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 “Suicide Special” 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 .30 caliber, a handsome blued finish and antique ivory grips.
The New Line series of revolvers, including all calibers, was a single action pocket revolver introduced by the Colt’s Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company in 1873 and continued through 1884. Two years after the Colt House Revolver, a year after the Colt Open Top, and almost simultaneously alongside the Colt Peacemaker, the Colt New Line was one of the first metallic cartridge, rear-loading revolvers manufactured by Colt.
This revolver features New York floral scroll engraving. The matching serial number is on the butt, bottom of the barrel, hand-scratches inside both grips, and the matching last three digits are on the rear face of the cylinder.
The overall condition is fine. Bright and original nickel finish. The bore is lighty frosted with some shimmer remaining and serviceable rifling. Sharly engraved. Markings are legible. Firey fine pearl grips. Numbers match. The hammer cocks and drops but the cylinder does not index. The left barrel etchings are clear.
