Scarce Colt Model 1849 "Wells Fargo" Pocket Percussion Revolver

This revolver is a scarce Model 1849 Pocket Model variation with three inch barrel without provisions for a loading lever, solid lug without lever loading slots, and otherwise standard Model 1849 markings and features including matching serial numbers, including on the back strap inlet of the smooth, varnished grip. Only 4,000 of this variation are estimated to have been produced. This example was manufactured in 1855.

ConditionVery good. The grip frame retains 80% plus of the original silver plating which displays aged patinas ranging from light tarnishing to near black. The spots of visible brass also have aged patina. The barrel has some faded blue finish, and the balance has gray and brown patina and mild pitting. The grip is very fine and has strong original varnish, edge wear including small chips at the toe, and some light scratches. Mechanically fine.
