EXCEPTIONAL 6″ COLT MODEL 1849 POCKET PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

SN 200432. 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 6-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 1862 at the height of the Civil War and would probably have seen service in that conflict and later on the American frontier. They remained in service well into the 1870s before being supplanted by the advent of self-contained cartridges. They 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 glossy orig blue with the losses flaked, not worn to a medium patina with only faint sharp edge wear; rammer & handle retain muted case colors; frame retains 60% brilliant case colors, with balance faded to a plum/silver; hammer retains some case colors on the sides & rear edge, fading to silver; cyl retains about 60-80% orig blue with the balance plum/silver and shows about 97-98% sharp stagecoach holdup scene. Trigger guard & back strap retain about half of their orig silver plating. Grip is sound, well-fit retaining 95% plus original varnish with losses only at edges. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore with a few scattered spots of pitting 4-51147 JS71 (6,000-8,000) – Lot 2077
