Description:

This is an original hardwood partitioned case for a Colt Model 1849 Revolver as produced by W. Kidder. The case retains the original brown velvet lining. The inside of the case is stamped "MANUFACTURED/SOLELY BY W. KIDDER." and "PATENT, APR. 1854" between the two hinges. The case has brass corner protectors and has a lock. Comes with a double face Eagle powder flask, "COLT'S/PATENT" marked two cavity bullet mold, Eley percussion cap tin (caps included) and key.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The wood of the case shows some minor dings and scratches. The fine original lining shows wear caused by the high points of a revolver. The partitioned walls have been reattached to the case and a hinge screw is missing. The excellent flask has a couple minor dings. The excellent bullet mold retains 85% plus original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina.
