EXCEPTIONAL 4″ CIVIL WAR COLT MODEL 1849 POCKET PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

SN 255653. Cal. 31. Blue & color case hardened with 4″ oct bbl, brass pin front sight and 1-line New York address. Left side of frame has “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 early in 1864 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 4″ 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 about 90% of its glossy orig blue with few light scratches and right side of bbl housing has some dents and scratches along slot for wedge and wedge has several dents. Rammer & handle retain much of their original case colors; frame retains most of its original brilliant case color; hammer also retains most of its original case color; cyl is really exceptional retaining 80-90% orig blue with the balance plum and shows about 100% sharp stagecoach holdup scene. Trigger guard & back strap retain about 99% of their orig silver plating. Grip is sound, well-fit retaining 98% original varnish with light edge wear. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore. 4-51182 JS73 (4,000-6,000) – Lot 2079
