ANTEBELLUM Antique COLT Model 1849 POCKET .31 Caliber PERCUSSION Revolver
Early Production Model Manufactured in 1853!
Description: ANTEBELLUM Antique COLT Model 1849 POCKET .31 Caliber PERCUSSION Revolver Early Production Model Manufactured in 1853! Here we present an antique percussion Colt Model 1849 Pocket Revolver, made in 1853 in Hartford, Connecticut. 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. 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. 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. 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 overall condition is very fine. Original blue and silver plate finish as well as case colors. The cylinder scene is extremely vivid. Numbers match. The action is excellent and the bore contains sharp rifling. The grip shows some use and a very small chip on the left side but fine otherwise. This is a superior example of Colt’s greatest success to date—something for the everyman! Here is your chance to own a fine and early example. 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 $2985 #215483 SOLD Antique: Yes |
