Fine Civil War Era Colt Model 1849 Pocket Percussion Revolver with Attractive Grip

Manufactured in 1861. The Model 1849 Pocket was the most popular of all of Colt's percussion revolvers. They would certainly have been more convenient for those needing some personal protection in the gold fields and saloons of the West as well as the crowded and crime riddled streets of the large cities in the East compared to the larger Colt Dragoon revolvers or mid-sized Model 1851 Navy and definitely packed more firepower than many of the single and double shot pocket pistols of the day. During the Civil War, many of these were also carried as personal sidearms. The barrel has the two-line Hartford address. "COLTS/PATENT" is stamped on the left side of the frame. The cylinder has the stagecoach hold up scene. Matching full or partial serial numbers visible on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, butt, loading lever, wedge, cylinder and cylinder pin, and handwritten in black ink inside the mortise of the original special one-piece grip.

Class: Antique

Very fine, retains 70% original blue finish with smooth brown patina on the balance, 60% vivid original case colors with smooth gray and brown patina on the balance, scattered light freckling, 90% original silver plated finish with a slightly tarnished appearance on the trigger guard and grip straps, and sharp markings and cylinder scene. Grip is excellent with some light handling marks and distinct edges. Mechanically excellent.
