Collector's Lot of Two Colt 1849 Pocket Revolvers

A) Civil War Era Colt Model 1849 Pocket Percussion Revolver

Manufactured in 1863. It has the one-line New York barrel address, Colt patent frame marking, caliber marking on the trigger guard and stagecoach holdup scene on the cylinder. Matching numbers are found on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, back strap, cylinder, loading lever, barrel wedge and arbor pin.

ConditionVery good plus. Scattered traces of original blue finish remain on the barrel and flashes of original case colors remain in the protected areas, otherwise the revolver has a smooth brown patina. Nearly all of the cylinder scene remains. The grip straps retain traces of darkened original silver plating in the protected areas. The grip is very fine showing high edge wear and some minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
