Manufactured in 1860. This is both a scarce and desirable example of a Colt Model 1849 Pocket "Wells Fargo 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. Matching visible serial numbers on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, butt, wedge, cylinder and cylinder pin.

Very good with smooth brown and gray patina on the iron surfaces, a few scattered patches of light pitting, defined cylinder scene, and 40% plus original silver plated finish concentrated mostly around the trigger guard with bright golden patina on the exposed brass. Grip is also very good with numerous scattered dents and scratches, and some mild edge wear. Mechanically excellent.
