Cased Colt Model 1862 Police Percussion Revolver with Civil War Attribution

Per Colt, this revolver was manufactured in 1864 during the Civil War. The top of the barrel has the one-line New York address, "COLTS/PATENT" is on the left side of the frame, "36 CAL" is on the left trigger guard shoulder, and matching serial numbers are marked on the barrel, frame, wedge (renumbered), trigger guard, and backstrap. The fitted wood case contains a cap tin, blued Colt ball/bullet mold and L-shaped combination tool, a Great Seal of the United States themed pocket flask, and key. A label on the bottom of the case reads: "This set used in the CW by one or both of the following: Isaac Bassett Boyce. Dr. (Col.) Breed. Both were from Spring Valley, NY." No further information on that attribution accompanies the revolver. An Isaac Bassett Boyce (1835-1918) is buried in Lynn, Massachusetts, and an Isaac Boyce/Bois is listed in the 77th New York Infantry. He is identified as enlisting on September 18, 1861, at Ballston Spa and mustered in as a private in Company B on October 1, 1861. He was wounded on December 13, 1862, at Fredericksburg and again at Chancellorsville on May 3, 1864, and a third time in the Wilderness before mustering out with the company on December 13, 1864, at Saratoga Springs. Provenance: The Norm Vegely Collection

ConditionVery fine with 60% plus original blue finish, 70% original case colors, smooth brown patina on the faded areas, aged patina on the brass grip straps, and generally minor overall wear. The grip is also very fine and has most of the varnish remaining and exhibits some light dings and scratches and minor edge wear. Mechanically excellent. The case and accessories are very good and have minor age and storage related wear and a crack through the bottom of the case.
