Catalog Page: 150
Class: Antique
Description:

Manufactured in 1854. This is a scarce Model 1849 Pocket Model "Wells Fargo" 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 frame, barrel, trigger guard, back strap, cylinder, wedge, and arbor pin.

Rating Definition:

Very good with a smooth gray patina of a well traveled sidearm. Nearly all of the cylinder scene remains. The grip straps retain 85% original silver plating. The grip is fine with a surface chip near the bottom (right side), high edge wear, minor handling marks, and retaining most of the original varnish. Mechanically excellent.
