Attractive Factory Engraved Colt Model 1862 Pocket Navy Percussion Revolver in Rare Factory Form Fitted Case

This early and original "Pocket Model of Naval Caliber" revolver manufactured around 1861 with factory vine scroll inspired engraving has "E" markings by the main serial numbers in the fashion used around 1861 to the early 1870s to designate factory engraved guns. The barrel has a brass cone front sight and "ADDRESS COL SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA" on top. The frame has the "COLTS/PATENT" marking on the left, and the trigger guard has "P" and "36 CAL" on the bow on the left. The cylinder has the standard stagecoach holdup scene. It is fitted with a set of smooth "one-piece" style grips. The case is fitted to the gun and includes a Colt patent marked powder flask, Colt patent bullet mold, lead balls and conical bullets, cartridge pack, Eley Bros. cap tin, two spare nipples, and a key.

ConditionFine with 80% plus aged silver plating on the grip straps, 50% original blue finish that is aging and toning on the barrel. Frame and lever show case colors mixed with deep gray patina, some light pitting, small dings and scratches, distinct and clear cylinder scene, and crisp engraving. The attractive grips are fine and show age stress cracks and light natural aging. Mechanically fine. The rare and original case is fine, and the accessories are very good-fine with mild storage wear.
