CIVIL WAR 6″ COLT POCKET MODEL REVOLVER WITH HOLSTER.SN 181412. Cal 31. Gun is standard configuration of other early Civil War produced guns with 2-line Hartford address and other typical markings and this is a fine 6″ Pocket in “as found” condition in orig holster that could possibly be Confederate as the finial for attachment is tall, brass riveted type occasionally found on Confederate cartridge boxes. Late in 1860 Colt was shipping many guns South and the long barreled pockets such as this, along with Navies, were quite popular among Southern officers. Regardless, this is a fine Civil War era pistol & holster that possibly saw the war carried by Union or Confederate officer. PROVENANCE: Tommy Rholes Estate Collection. CONDITION: Gun is very good overall with good crisp edges and strong areas of bright blue finish in protected areas such as bottom of bbl and inside stops on cyl. Small areas of bright case colors are still seen on loading arm and frame, though mostly muted; trigger guard retains about 90% of its silver plate and backstrap about 30%; the well fit stocks retain 90%+ of their bright orig varnish. Mechanics are fine and bore is smooth with crisp rifling. The holster is sound and solid with numerous scuff, small tears and also torn at tab; orig plug is still retained and fits gun quite well. 4-50606 JS193 (1,000-2,000) – Lot 2300
