MODEL 1849 COLT IDENTIFIED TO A NEW YORK ZOUAVE.

MODEL 1849 COLT IDENTIFIED TO A NEW YORK ZOUAVE. SN 188090. Cal. 36. 5″ bbl. This gun appears all original and matching. Though there is no serial number on wedge, all other parts normally serial numbered have matching numbers. This gun is crisp and mechanically fine. Cylinder scene is worn but still partially discernible. Inscribed on silver plated backstrap “D.L. Wood, New York. 1861/Co A. NYZ”. A search in an online database provided no information on Mr. Wood, however a little research in a New York reference should determine Mr. Wood’s identity. Identified items to Zouave Units are scarce and this is a nice gun made in 1861 that would display nicely in any Civil War collection. CONDITION: Metal is gray overall showing old cleaning with scattered staining and pitting. Wedge appears to be a replacement. Grips retain most of their original varnish with scattered scratches and nicks. Brass backstrap and trigger guard retain about 20% of their original silver plating. Markings are all discernible though bbl address was lightly struck. Stagecoach scene is about 50% intact. Serial numbers are all crisp and easily read. Engraving is deep and easily read. 4-39113 JS17 (3,000-4,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2010

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
