COLT BABY DRAGOON-1849 POCKET MODEL FLASK.

This flask is in beautiful condition retaining most of its orig brown lacquered body that would present nicely in an early Colt Pocket model casing. This flask is always highly sought in high condition with the prominent “COLTS PATENT” embossing above eagle. This flask is shown on pg 84 of Colt Accoutrements by Robin Rapley as flask figure #22 which was produced by Batty & John Mathewman from Colt-owned dies. This example appears nicer than example shown in Rapley and Rapley generally shows the finest examples from best collections. CONDITION: Excellent overall. Flask retains over 90% of its orig varnish with typical streaks and stains; brass top retains most of its orig sheen to top but sides have mostly a shiny dark brass patina; spring retains most of its orig fire blue; there are no dents and flask functions. 4-50336 JS216 (2,000-2,500) – Lot 2227
