EARLY Antique COLT Model 1849 Pocket REVOLVER
Description: EARLY Antique COLT Model 1849 Pocket REVOLVER Made in 1851 Here we present an antique Colt Model 1849 Pocket Revolver, made in 1851 in Hartford, Connecticut. One of the most aesthetically pleasing aspects of this pistol 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. It did a fine job as a self-defense handgun for the average citizen in 19th Century America. The left side of the frame is marked “COLTS PATENT”. The top of the barrel is marked “ADDRESS SAML COLT NEW YORK CITY” in two lines. This appears to have been lightly stamped at the factory and gone over a second time lending to its off-kilter appearance. The cylinder, which appears as though it belongs to the gun was never marked with a serial number, which is quite odd. Interesting too is the “Q” under the serial number on the trigger guard. The cylinder scene is very good and the safety pins on the back of the cylinder are worn but mostly still intact. The overall condition is very good. The metal surfaces have a smooth, even patina. The markings are clear and legible. The serial numbers match. The grips are in great shape. The bore is dark with visible rifling. The action on this revolver is strong. Here is a great and early example of the revolver that really made Colt a household name! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 5 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 $1450 #7220 SOLD Antique: Yes |
