This is a fine example of a Colt Model 1849 Pocket revolver that was manufactured in 1866. The revolver has a four inch octagon barrel, loading lever and five-shot cylinder. The barrel and cylinder have the Colt high polish commercial blue finish. The loading lever, hammer and frame are color casehardened and the brass trigger guard and back strap are silver-plated. The one-piece walnut grip has a varnished, piano, finish. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped with 4th Style legend: "ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA" in one line. The cylinder is roll-engraved with the Stagecoach Holdup scene and "COLT'S PATENT" markings. "COLT'S/PATENT" is stamped in two lines on the left side of the frame. "31 CAL" is stamped on the left shoulder of the trigger guard. The full serial number, "289771" is stamped on the bottom of the loading lug, frame, trigger guard and back strap. The cylinder is stamped with the partial serial number, "9771". All of the visible serial numbers match. The revolver has a mahogany factory case with five compartments lined with maroon velvet. The case contains: (1) aged, reproduction, pocket pistol flask with fixed charger, (2) blued, iron .31 caliber mold for conical bullets and round balls marked "COLT'S/PATENT" on the spruce cutter, (3) 100 count tin of E. Joyce percussion caps with red paper label, (4) key, and (5) several .31 caliber lead balls. The reproduction flask is not original.
