CASED INSCRIBED COLT MODEL 1849 POCKET PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

CASED INSCRIBED COLT MODEL 1849 POCKET PERCUSSION REVOLVER. SN 62558. Cal. 31. This gun appears original, all matching and as found. Gun has an excellent cyl scene which is mostly, if not all, discernible. This gun has 6″ bbl with 2-line NY address and silver-plated backstrap which is inscribed “P.M. Armington”. Further research needs to be done on Mr. Armington. This gun was manufactured in 1853 and is cased in an after-market casing with somewhat of a form-fitted partition for trigger guard. Other two compartments hold a “COLTS PATENT” marked powder flask, a brass “COLTS PATENT” marked bullet mold with iron sprue cutter, tin of Eley Bros. Colt’s pistol caps and L-shaped pistol tool. CONDITION: Gun overall is very good. Metal overall is gray/brown with traces of finish especially in protected areas. There is scattered staining and pitting. Cyl retains all safety pins, though worn. Cyl scene of stagecoach hold-up is 95% discernible. Frame is mostly smooth and gray with scattered areas of pitting. All markings are bright and crisp as can be seen in photos. Backstrap and trigger guard retain most of their silver-plating. Stocks retain 90% of their original varnish. Casing latch has come loose and retaining screws in latch case are loose. Bullet mold is very good overall. Brass is smooth with only small scattered nicks and scrapes. Sprue cutter is gray with scattered pitting. “COLTS PATENT” marks and “s” are discernible. There is old grinding present on top of large pin that holds sprue cutter. Colt pistol tool has remnants of blue finish under scale. Screwdriver head is broken. Colt marked pistol flask appears to be reproduction. Pistol was not disassembled but apparently has broken or missing mainspring as gun is not functional. 4-44261 JS27 (3,000-4,000)
