Two factory cased and deluxe engraved Colt Model 2 1855 Sidehammer Pocket revolvers manufactured circa 1859. Each revolver has British London proof and inspection marks stamped on the lower left side of the barrel. The mahogany British style case has a brass plate in the lid and brass reinforcement bands on the corners of the lid and case body. The case has a green baize lining with five compartments. A Colt instruction sheet for Colt sidehammer, "PISTOLS, RIFLES, CARBINES, AND SHOTGUNS," is glued to the inside of the lid. The revolvers have a high polish blue finish on the barrels, frames and five-shot cylinders. The hammers and loading levers are casehardened. The one piece grips are highly figured walnut with a high polish piano finish. The revolvers have deluxe engraving by Gustave Young. The engraving features Young's tight Germanic scrollwork on a punch dot background with additional scroll and border work on the cylinders, scrolls on the muzzles, back straps and butts and scroll work and knurling on the loading levers. A Deluxe Colt Sidehammer revolver with nearly identical engraving (No. 14330) is illustrated and described on page 71 of "THE BOOK OF COLT ENGRAVING" by R.L. Wilson. Wilson's description notes that deluxe engraving on Sidehammer series revolvers is rare. The top flat of each barrel is roll-stamped with the Second Style legend with pointing hand and Maltese crosses. The revolver cylinders are beautifully hand engraved with the Cabin and Indian scene with "COLT'S PATENT" and "Engd by W.L. Ormsby" markings. Revolver "A" has the serial number "21113" stamped on the bottom of the barrel, the side of the cylinder and the butt; Revolver "B" is stamped with the serial number "21030" in the same locations. All of the visible serial numbers on both revolvers match. The case is complete with a bag shaped British powder flask with "COLTS POCKET FLASK" and James Dixon markings on the top, adjustable charger with 2/8, 3/8, and 4/8 dram markings and lanyard ring. The flask has a gold plated top and charger, fire blue spring and brown lacquered body. In addition to the flask, the case contains: (1) two L-shaped screw drivers in a fitted block, (2) pewter Sykes oil bottle, (3) 500 count Eley Bros. tin of percussion caps for Colt's "Belt & Pocket Pistols", (4) cleaning rod with wooden handle, (5) un-marked brass double cavity bullet mold for conical balls with blued sprue cutter and (6) assortment of .28 caliber balls and conical bullets. The bullet mold is not a Colt mold but is original to the casing.
