Exceptional and Highly Desirable "Wells Fargo Model" Colt Model 1849 Pocket Percussion Revolver

Manufactured in 1858. This is a scarce example of a Colt Model 1849 Pocket Model variation with a three inch barrel without provisions for a loading lever, a solid lug without loading slots, and otherwise standard Model 1849 markings and features including matching visible serial numbers on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, butt, wedge, cylinder and cylinder pin.

ConditionExceptionally fine, retains 60% original blue finish on the barrel with smooth brown patina on the balance, smooth gray patina on the cylinder with a distinct scene, 75% vivid original case colors, and 70% original silver plated finish on the brass. Grip is very fine with some mild edge wear, some scattered light scratches, and most of the original varnish finish. The hammer requires manual assistance in order to release with the trigger. This desirable "Wells Fargo Model" Colt Model 1849 Pocket revolver is in a high level of condition when compared with the surviving examples today.
