Colt Model 1849 Pocket Revolver Made in 1852
Description:
This is a nice and quite early example of the Colt Model 1849 Pocket Percussion Revolver. Serial number is in the 43,000 range which dates its production to the year 1852. It has the early style "small" oval-shaped trigger guard with 5" barrel, 2 Line New York barrel address and 5 shot cylinder in .31 caliber. The serial numbers are all matching except for the wedge which is unnumbered and appears to be an old replacement; not at all uncommon on these early percussion Colts.
More 1849's were produced than any other model by the Colt Factory during the 19th century which is a testament to how popular they were. These early ones went to the California Gold Fields in the early 1850's but they also found their way to the Gold Rush in Australia in the mid-1850's and were so popular in Great Britain, that Sam Colt opened a 2nd factory along the Thames River in the mid 1850's. When the Civil War started, the 1849 was almost certainly the most common personal carry firearm of the war with a tremendous amount of photographic evidence of both Confederate and Union Soldiers brandishing them while they posed. Production lasted until 1873 after the Rollin White Patent expired and every revolver maker in the USA shifted from percusssion to cartridges.
Overall, this one is quite good for its age and grades to NRA Antique Very Good Condition with about 40% case colors on the frame which have faded to silver. The barrel and cylinder are a smooth grey patina with sharp markings and 95% of the stagecoach robbery cylinder scene intact. What's great about these early 1850's era Colts is that Sam Colt went all out for his Gold-Rush era customers with extra high quality varnish for his grips and extra thick silver plating on the brass trigger guard and backstrap. Even though the revolver sports very little of its original finish on the iron, the gripstraps still have 90%+ original silver plating and 85% original varnish on the walnut grips. Mechanically, the action is good and the barrel to frame fit is tight. Good bore. For 167 years old, this 49' Pocket is an exceptional survivor.
