FINE COLT MODEL 1849 POCKET PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

FINE COLT MODEL 1849 POCKET PERCUSSION REVOLVER. SN 141332. Cal. 31. Blue & color case hardened with 6″ oct bbl, brass pin front sight and 2-line New York City address with brackets. Left side of frame has a small “COLTS PATENT” and the silver plated brass trigger guard & back strap contain a nicely figured varnished walnut 1-pc grip with last four digits of SN in back strap channel. Cyl is usual 5-shots with stagecoach holdup scene roll marking. Several parts have small inspector initials. The 1849 Model was an extremely popular revolver that was immediately adopted by frontier people of all walks of life from lawmen to outlaws, ranchers and townsfolk. Large numbers were also sold to foreign markets. Given their hard & continuous frontier service with additional service throughout the Civil War, few of these revolvers are found today retaining much orig finish. CONDITION: Fine to very fine, all matching except cyl which is numbered “141232”, obviously an assembler’s mistake, being exactly 100 numbers off of the SN. Bbl retains about 60% thinning orig blue, stronger in sheltered areas with balance a light patina. Rammer pivot retains strong case colors with handle & rammer case colors faded. Frame & hammer retain strong orig case colors, brighter in sheltered areas, mostly turned silver on recoil shields. Cyl retains scattered orig blue being mostly a silver/brown patina and retains about 90% stagecoach holdup scene roll marking. Trigger guard & back strap retain 65-70% strong orig silver plating with balance a light mustard patina. Grip is sound showing light edge wear and a few scattered light mars in the finish and retains most of its orig factory varnish. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore with a few scattered spots of pitting. 4-41726 JR14 (1,500-2,500)
