PATERSON, N.J.-COLT’S PT.” with a star & snake at each end. It has 5-shot cyl with stagecoach holdup scene & beautiful burl walnut 1-pc grip with flared butt. It is accompanied by an orig Paterson walnut casing with scalloped edge top & flat bottom with dovetailed edges, a rectangular German silver plate in lid & a mortised lock. Lined with brown velvet with cutouts in bottom for revolver cyl & grip, charger and spare cylinder. There are wire brackets for a bullet mold, cleaning rod, capper & loading tool. Charger is numbered “72” and capping tool is numbered “38”. Cleaning rod wire bracket is a replacement and male portion of lock is missing. Only about 1,000 of these revolvers were produced in period 1838-40 and of those only a few survive and even fewer were ever cased. CONDITION: Very fine, all matching including both cylinders, bbl lug, wedge, cyl rotating band, trigger, inside back strap, on bottom left edge of grip & inside back strap channel of grip. Overall retains most of an extremely fine professionally restored finish with bbl retaining virtually all of this slightly dull finish with some light freckling on sides of lug. Frame & hammer retain most of their custom case colors, screws are slightly battered. Hammer nose is battered. Cylinders retain most of their fine custom finish and each retains about 85-90% stagecoach holdup scene. Grip frame retains most of its custom finish with some slight dulling on back strap & butt strap. Grip is sound with minor nicks & scratches and retains virtually all of its fine custom finish. Mechanics are fine, strong bright bore with fine pitting in grooves. Case is sound with two or three chips on bottom edges and light handling & storage marks elsewhere and retains virtually all of its beautiful varnish finish. Lining is moderately to heavily faded with moderate wear in bottom and inside lid. Charger retains a very dark copper & brass patina and is completely functional. Capper shows moderate to heavy wear and retains a mottled medium to dark patina. Cleaning rod has chipped handle with brass retaining a medium patina. Bullet mold is missing. Loading tool is a cleaned metal color, probably a replacement. This is a fine, nearly complete, seldom encountered set. 4-58368 JR51 (125,000-175,000)
