CASED ENGRAVED COLT 1849 PERCUSSION POCKET REVOLVER.

CASED ENGRAVED COLT 1849 PERCUSSION POCKET REVOLVER. Cal. 31. SN 2391. Fine London pocket revolver with 6″ oct bbl, 2-line London address, full silver plated with almost full coverage fine English, foliate arabesque pattern engraving with matted background. It has British proofs on the left bbl flat and over each chamber and the cylinder has the stagecoach holdup scene. It has iron grip frame with 1-piece walnut grips. It is accompanied by an oak English retailer’s case with cut out in the lid for a name plate, which is missing, and blue felt lining. All of the partitions are broken from the interior and missing. In addition to the revolver there is a Dixon bag flask with adjustable spout, a blued, inspected Colt’s Patent 2-cavity mold, an L-shaped nipple wrench and a large cap tin, missing its label. CONDITION: Fine to very fine, all matching including the wedge. Overall, it retains most of a fine re-silvered finish with two or three spots of pitting on the bbl and a scrape on the butt. The cylinder has a drag line and retains about 90% original stagecoach holdup scene. Grips are sound with light wear and retain most of an added finish with about 60% original finish showing through. Mechanics are fine, strong bore with moderate pitting. The case is only fair with the aforementioned missing partitions and one end of the dust seal broken away. The label in the lid is yellowed and soiled but legible and the lining is worn and soiled. The flask is dinged and dented but functional. The mold is extremely fine. 4-53426 JR834 (5,000-8,000)
