EXTREMELY RARE COMPLETE CASING & ACCESSORIES FOR A COLT BABY PATERSON PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

EXTREMELY RARE COMPLETE CASING & ACCESSORIES FOR A COLT BABY PATERSON PERCUSSION REVOLVER. Rare early mahogany casing for a Baby Paterson with fluted lid and a narrow brass plate in top, roll marked with the Baby Paterson bbl marking. Interior is lined with lined dark green velvet with recesses in bottom for an orig Baby Paterson and contains an original 3-handle bullet mold, a walnut handle cleaning rod, an orig capping tool, SN 112, and an orig Baby Paterson charger SN 46. Charger is numbered “46” on all visible parts except ball charger tube which is numbered “42”, but which appears to be orig to this set as the condition is identical to other parts of charger. Center band is roll marked with same marking as on lid. Case also has a recess for a second cylinder and clips for a combination tool, which is missing. Paterson revolvers, while very scarce or even rare, are not nearly so rare as an orig casing with accessories and are rarely ever encountered separated from a revolver. CONDITION: Case is very fine with some very slight shrinkage and one raised corner on lid, otherwise is sound with minor nicks & scratches and crackled varnish. It appears that something approx. 1-1/4″ in diameter, probably the revolver’s cylinder, containing a solvent of some sort was left standing on the lid and left an impression in the varnish. Possibly an old applied varnish. Interior is moderately faded and lightly soiled but intact. Mold retains generous amounts of thin orig blue. Capper retains traces of orig finish in lettering and sheltered areas. Interior is crisp and bright. Charger retains about 80% orig finish but is missing two of the tiny screws that hold the powder charger end in place. 4-37302 JR39 (15,000-25,000)
