EXCEPTIONAL 6″ COLT MODEL 1849 POCKET PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

SN 181270. Cal. 31. Blue & color case hardened with 6″ oct bbl, brass pin front sight and 2-line Hartford address with dashes. Left side of frame has a tiny “COLTS PATENT”. The silver plated brass trigger guard & back strap contain a varnished 1-pc walnut grip with last four digits of matching SN in back strap channel. Cyl is 5-shots with stagecoach holdup scene roll marking. This model was one of Colt’s most popular revolvers having received immediate acceptance with the buying public upon its introduction with approx. 325,000 being produced in the period 1850-1873. This revolver was produced in late 1860 at the beginning of Civil War fervor. Many of these 6″ pockets went South as these and Colt Navies seemed to be the most popular Confederate Officer sidearms. These arms usually served under harsh circumstances with very little maintenance and are rarely found today with high orig finish. This is a beautiful gun with a most desirable 6″bbl and an exceptional cyl retaining most all its original blue that would be difficult to upgrade. PROVENANCE: Norm Flayderman Estate Collection. CONDITION: Excellent overall, all matching. Bbl retains 90-95% of its orig blue with scattered areas of staining and pinprick pitting. Loading assembly retains some bright case color with balance muted. Frame retains some muted case colors, with balance faded to a silver/gray; hammer retains some case colors on the sides & rear edge, fading to silver matching frame; cyl retains about 90% orig blue with the balance plum/silver and shows virtually all sharp stagecoach holdup scene. Trigger guard & back strap retain about 90% of their orig silver plating. Grip is sound, well-fit retaining over 95% original varnish with losses only at edges, several storage dings, dents and scratches. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore with a few scattered spots of pitting. 4-54421 JS16 (5,000-7,000) – Lot 1333
