This is an example of a Wells Fargo Colt Model 1849 Pocket revolver that was manufactured in 1856. The revolver has the distinctive "Wells Fargo" combination of three-inch octagon barrel with breech extension and small rounded trigger guard. The five-shot cylinder is roll-engraved with the Stagecoach Holdup scene and "COLTS PATENT" markings. The barrel has a brass cone front sight and is roll-stamped with the second style legend: "{ADDRESS SAML COLT/NEW YORK CITY}" in two lines. "COLTS/PATENT" is roll-stamped in two lines on the left side of the frame. The full serial number "111786" is stamped on the bottom of the barrel lug, wedge, frame, trigger guard, back strap and cylinder. The partial serial number "1786" is stamped on the bottom of the arbor pin. All of the visible serial numbers match. The barrel and cylinder have a high polish blue finish. The frame and hammer are casehardened with vivid case colors. The trigger guard and back strap are silver-plated. The one-piece walnut grips has a high polish piano finish.
