The Colt Model 1849 Pocket was the most popular Colt revolver of the 19th century but remains hard to acquire in very high condition given most examples appear to have actually been carried. This is especially the case for the earlier '49 Pockets which were popular in the antebellum West, including in the gold fields. However, this revolver manufactured in 1857 remains in very fine condition. It has a cone front sight, two-line New York barrel address, standard patent markings, mismatched loading lever (3986), and matching serial numbers on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, back strap, cylinder, arbor pin, and wedge.
