SCARCE Matching Antique COLT 1862 POLICE Revolver
Description: SCARCE Matching Antique COLT 1862 POLICE Revolver BRITISH PROOFED in Original Percussion Format! Here we present an antique Colt 1862 Police Percussion Revolver, made in 1868. Its introduction was an attempt to fill a niche in the market for a pocket revolver suited for civilians and police of a larger caliber (.36) than the 1849 Pocket Revolver (.31). Much as the Colt 1851 Navy was a scaled-up version of the 1849 Pocket, the 1862 Police was a scaled down version of the 1861 Navy, which was a scaled down version of the 1860 Army. The result was a sleek, stylish and light, 5-shot pocket revolver in .36 caliber. Collectors today largely view these as the climax of the development of the percussion revolver. Unfortunately for Colt, the commercial market for the 1862 Police was overshadowed by cartridge revolvers. As a result, production was quite limited by Colt’s standards, and of those that were produced it is estimated that 70% of these were converted to cartridge firearms. These factors make the 1862 Police Revolver in its original percussion format quite scarce for collectors today. This piece bears British proof marks on the cylinder, denoting a gun that was made in the United States for export to the English market. Sam Colt had once operated a factory in London from 1853 to 1856, though it closed after European contracts were not forthcoming. He maintained a sales office there instead, making guns in the U.S. for export. The overall condition of this revolver is fine. The barrel still bears trace amounts of original blue finish and the balance features a dark patina. The silver plate on the brass grip frame is 30%. The markings are clear and legible. All serial numbers match. The walnut grips are in very good condition. The bore is very good. The action is glassy smooth with sharp clicks. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 4-1/2 inches in length. Caliber: .36 percussion The bore is in very good condition and the action is excellent. Overall condition as seen in photos. Here is the scarce original percussion 1862 Police Revolver for your collection. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1400 #21860 SOLD Antique: Yes |
