EXCELLENT 4-1/2″ COLT MODEL 1862 POCKET NAVY PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

SN 2617. This is a fine example of the Model 1862 Pocket Model made first year of production in 1861. This gun conforms to other models in this series with blue & color case hardened with 4-1/2″ oct bbl, brass pin front sight and 1-line New York U.S. America address. Left side of frame is marked “COLTS PATENT” and left shoulder of trigger guard is stamped “36 CAL”. The silver plated brass trigger guard & back strap contain a fine varnished 1-pc walnut grip. Smooth cylinder is usual 5-shots with rebated diameter and has the stagecoach holdup scene roll marking with only 2 safety pins retained, others are smashed flat. There were approximately 19,000 of these fine revolvers produced 1861 to 1873. This particular gun was made at the beginning of the Civil War and it is amazing but this specimen escaped hard war service and survived in such fine condition, retaining much of its orig finish and aesthetics. PROVENANCE: The Esteemed Collection of Steve Ardia. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Grips appear orig and fit perfectly. Bbl address, SNs, patent and caliber marks are crisp and well struck. Bbl retains about 90% orig factory blue finish with some thinning and wear at edges with small dents and nicks around wedge slot. Frame, hammer, and loading assembly retain much of their bright case color with balance silver/grey. Cylinder retains strong traces of orig blue in protected areas. Virtually all of its stagecoach holdup scene roll marking is visible with slight pitting to top edges. Trigger guard and backstrap retain strong traces of orig silver plating with remainder yellow patina. Grip is sound, well-fit, crisp with only minor blemishes in finish and retains about 95% of its bright orig factory varnish with edge wear. Mechanics are crisp, well defined rifling in shiny bore. 49631-44 JS (5,000-8,000) – Lot 2135
