COLT MODEL 1849 POCKET REVOLVER.

COLT MODEL 1849 POCKET REVOLVER. Cal. 31. SN 209291. Blue & case colored with 6″ oct bbl that has “NEW-YORK US AMERICA” 1-line address. It has 5-shot cylinder with British proofs on the bbl & cylinder. It has a silver-plated brass grip frame and 1-pc walnut grip. The four serial numbers on the bottom of the revolver are all accompanied by a small “E”. This is unusual in that this usually signifies an engraved gun. Also the cylinder is without a number, but completely matches the condition of the revolver including the British proofs. CONDITION: Exceedingly fine. Appears to be unfired. Chambers are still packed full of very old grease and there is no evidence of it ever having been fired. Bbl retains 97-98% glossy bright blue and the rammer & handle about all of their bright orig case colors. Cylinder is lightly flaked but retains about 90% strong orig blue with about 99% stagecoach holdup scene. Frame & hammer retain virtually all of their strong bright orig case colors and the grip frame virtually all of its black oxidized silver-plating. Grip shows very minor wear with a few small storage marks and retains virtually all of its orig varnish. Bore is bright & shiny, about 2/3 of the way from the muzzle with the cylinder end having light rust. Revolver has been played with as the safety pins are all pounded down, but it appears to be unfired. 4-54508 JR686 (4,000-7,000)
