ENGRAVED COLT MODEL 1849 POCKET REVOLVER.

Revised: 3/8/2007

ENGRAVED COLT MODEL 1849 POCKET REVOLVER. Cal. 31. SN 138571. Usual configuration with 6” oct bbl, brass pin front sight, with engraved “SAML COLT” on top flat. It has silver plated grip frame with 1-pc smooth ivory grip. It is engraved by Gustave Young with full coverage on frame having Colt’s patent engraved in an elliptical panel on left side. It has the wolf’s head on each side of hammer nose and incorporates his flower patterns throughout with the dog’s head incorporated into the patterns on left side of bbl lug and, unusually, with acorns & oak leaves. Rammer pivot, buttstrap & triggerguard are engraved to match. Top of backstrap has a typical fan. It has a 6-shot cyl. Bbl lug, wedge & rammer are all matching with the serial number “138567” while rest of revolver is matching with serial numbers “138571”. Engraving is certainly all by Young and of matching age & condition, leading one to speculate that the orig owner may have had a pair of revolvers and mixed up the two front ends. CONDITION: Very good to fine. No orig finish remains being a smooth medium to dark blue/brown patina with scattered spots of fine pitting. Cyl is a gray patina and retains 50-60% stagecoach holdup scene with heavy pitting around rear edges. Grip frame retains 25-30% orig silver plating with missing areas a light mustard patina. Grip has large chips from both sides of heel with full length age lines and retains a beautiful ivory patina. Will not hold on half cock and bbl is a little loose, otherwise mechanics are fine. Worn, dark bore. Baldwin Collection 4-30021 JR117 (3,000-4,000)
