This is an exceptional example of a cased Colt Model 1849 Pocket Model revolver that was manufactured in 1867. This revolver has the deluxe high polish blue finish on the barrel, cylinder, trigger guard and back strap often found on Colts intended for the British market. The loading lever, hammer and frame are casehardened. The one- piece walnut grip has a varnished piano finish. London "Crown/GP" and "Crown/V" proofmarks are stamped on the left side of the barrel lug ahead of the wedge and above each cylinder chamber. The six-shot cylinder is roll-engraved with the Stagecoach Hold-up scene and "COLTS PATENT". The top of the barrel is roll-stamped "ADDRESS COL SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S.AMERICA". "COLTS/PATENT" is stamped on the left side of the frame. The full serial number "296810" is stamped on the bottom of the barrel lug, frame, trigger guard and back strap. "L" is stamped either above or below the serial number on all four components. The loading lever is stamped with the partial serial number "810", the cylinder and arbor pin are numbered "6810" and the wedge is numbered "96810". The hammer has the late style bordered knurling on the spur and the barrel has the standard brass cone front sight. The revolver comes in a mahogany case with a scalloped brass plate inlaid in the lid and blue velvet British style interior with five compartments including one compartment with a lid and brass handle. A Colt instruction label for loading and cleaning the revolver is glued to the inside of the lid. In the case is a British style cleaning rod with blue steel handle, a blue iron double cavity bullet mold for .31 caliber with a casehardened sprue cutter marked "COLT'S/PATENT", a niter blue L-shaped combination screwdriver/nipple wrench, a 500 count tin of Eley Bros. percussion caps with green paper label and a bag shaped powder flask with lanyard loop and three position charger marked "JAMES DIXON/&SONS/SHEFFIELD" on the top.
