FINE ENGRAVED COLT MODEL 1862 POCKET NAVY REVOLVER.

FINE ENGRAVED COLT MODEL 1862 POCKET NAVY REVOLVER. Cal. 36. SN 6285. Rare engraved pocket Navy with 4-1/2″ oct bbl, pin front sight, 5-shot rebated cylinder with nickel-plated brass grip frame & 1-pc walnut grips. All the serial numbers have a small “E” adjacent to them. It is beautifully engraved in Nimschke style with about 90% coverage on the frame of foliate arabesque patterns, which extend up over the recoil shields, over the sides of the bbl lug onto the top flats and both sides of the rammer pivot. The hammer is engraved with wolf’s heads on each side of the nose with fan pattern at the top of the backstrap and foliate arabesque patterns down the backstrap, on the butt strap, bottom of the trigger guard & bottom of the frame. The edge of the trigger guard has wavy border. CONDITION: Fine to very fine. All matching except the rammer handle which is numbered “275”, probably an assembler’s mistake as the engraving and condition match precisely. Bbl retains about 30% orig blue, mostly in the sheltered areas with the balance a plum color with some fine pitting near the muzzle and a spot or two elsewhere. Cylinder retains about 25-30% thin blue with the balance a silver/brown patina and retains about 75% stagecoach holdup scene. Frame retains dark case colors on the sides turned silver/gray on the recoil shields. Hammer retains 25-30% case colors with moderate pitting on the nose. Trigger guard & front strap retain 70% nickel-plating while the backstrap is a lemony patina. Grips are sound with hammer marks on the bottom and retain traces of orig varnish. Mechanics are fine. Strong bright bore with moderate pitting. One or two battered screws. A beautiful little revolver. 4-54346 (6,500-8,500)
