PRESENTATION CIVIL WAR M1849 COLT POCKET REVOLVER. SN 193397. Cal. 31. This is a nice example on an 1861 made Colt pocket revolver with a 4″ oct bbl with 1-line NY address. This gun appears all original and has all matching SN’s with exception of wedge which is not numbered. This gun has contemporary presentation on backstrap which reads “James Lynch to His Grandson, Jas. Lynch Murray 1861”. A quick search of Civil War database finds a Lt. James L. Murray enlisting in the 13th Wisconsin in 1861. Further study needs to be performed to ascertain if this is the identity on presentation.

Stagecoach holdup cyl scene is 95% visible with scattered rust and pitting. Brass backstrap and trigger guard retain traces of their original silver plating in protected areas. 4-44262 JS105 (2,000-3,000)
