CIVIL WAR Era Antique J.M. COOPER .31 Percussion POCKET Revolver WILD WEST
DOUBLE ACTION Concept of the COLT M1849 POCKET
Description: CIVIL WAR Era Antique J.M. COOPER .31 Percussion POCKET Revolver WILD WEST DOUBLE ACTION Concept of the COLT M1849 POCKET Here we present an antique J.M. Cooper Double Action Pocket Revolver, made circa 1864-69 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During a time of rapid innovation in firearms technology and an insatiable market due to rapid expansion and the American Civil War, dozens of makers seized their opportunity to put their ideas on the market. The J.M. Cooper Double Action Revolver took the concept of the Colt 1849 Pocket Model and improved it by giving it a double action firing mechanism. Only about 15,000 of these Pocket Models were made during the 1860s, making these quite scarce. Though there are no known military contracts, they made their way onto Civil War battlefields when soldiers purchased them privately for that purpose, and likely carried well into the “Wild West” era. The overall condition is near fine. Original blue finish and patina. Matching numbers. The action is excellent in double and single action. The bore is in very good condition with strong rifling. Solid grip. Here is a great example of a double action alternative to Colts and S&Ws of the period that would look great on display in one’s office. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 4 inches. Caliber: .31 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1600 #240255 Price: $1,600.00 Buy Now Antique: Yes Contact Seller |
