This revolver was manufactured in 1850 during the transition between the Model 1848 Baby Dragoon and Model 1849 Pocket revolvers. It has the distinctive squareback trigger guard of the earlier model while also featuring the improved rectangular cylinder stops and barrel mounted loading lever rammer typical of the Model 1849 Pocket. The barrel has a post front sight and "-ADDRESS SAML COLT/NEW-YORK CITY-" on top and a small loading cutout on the right side of the lug. The five-shot cylinder has the stagecoach hold-up scene and safety pins between each nipple (most are flattened). The frame has the small "COLTS/PATENT" marking. Matching serial numbers visible on the wedge, cylinder pin, cylinder, loading lever, barrel, frame, trigger guard, and back strap. Includes a fitted walnut case, Colt eagle pocket flask, a 5-count box of cartridges, Eley cap tin, a reproduction dual cavity ball mold, L-shaped combination screwdriver/nipple wrench, and key.

Very good, exhibiting smooth brown patina on the iron with visible cylinder scene and markings, some scattered patches of light pitting, and 85% original silver plating on the trigger guard and grip straps. Grip is fine and has much of the varnish remaining, minor edge wear and some scattered dings. Mechanically fine. The case is very good with mild age and storage related wear, including fading of the interior lining, some contact wear, some light handling marks on the outside of the case, and one absent hinge screw. The accessories are all very good to fine overall.
