VERY SCARCE Antique “WELLS FARGO” Model COLT 1849 .31 Cal. POCKET Revolver
DESIRABLE Antebellum Pocket Revolver Made in 1856
Description: VERY SCARCE Antique “WELLS FARGO” Model COLT 1849 .31 Cal. POCKET Revolver DESIRABLE Antebellum Pocket Revolver Made in 1856 Here we present an antique Colt 1849 Pocket Revolver “Wells Fargo Model”, made in 1856 in Hartford, Connecticut. Though over 340,000 1849 Pocket Revolvers were produced by Colt’s factory at Hartford, only a mere 4,000 of them were produced in this configuration with a 3-inch barrel and no loading lever. These would have been even handier for the pocket than their longer-barreled brethren and have been colloquially called the “Wells Fargo Model”. 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 good. Robust action. The bore is in good shape for its age. Fine grip with minimal handling wear. Numbers match. The wagon robbery cylinder scene is quite clear. Legible markings. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3 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 $4225 #220525 SOLD Antique: Yes |
