Exceptional Cased Colt Model 1862 Pocket Navy Percussion Revolver

This model has been known to collectors by various names over the years. The details of the serial numbers and dates of manufacture also remain disputed. Colt currently lists this revolver as a "Pocket Pistol of Navy Caliber" manufactured in 1861 within the same range as Police revolvers. However, the Colt Collector's Association now lists this model as manufactured in 1865-1872 within a serial number range of 1-22000. These are fairly rare and definitely desirable Colts and are difficult to find in high condition. It has the classic Colt percussion revolver finish combination of rich blue finish on the barrel and cylinder, case colors on the frame as well as the loading lever and hammer, niter blue on the screws and trigger, silver-plated brass grip straps, and a high polish "piano" varnish finish on the one-piece walnut grip. It also features a small cone front sight, "ADDRESS COL SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA" on top of the barrel, the stagecoach roll scene on the cylinder, standard Colt patent markings, and "V" and "36 CAL" on the left side of the trigger guard. The visible serial numbers all match. The loading lever is not marked. The revolver comes in a hardwood case a faint name and address marked on the bottom of the case. The case contains an Eley Bros. cap tin, key, spare nipples, bullets, balls, two cartridges, L-shaped combination tool, double sided eagle powder flask, and Colt patent bullet mold.

ConditionExceptionally fine with 98% bright original high polish blue finish on the barrel, 40% original blue concentrated on the rear of the cylinder, brown patina on the balance of the cylinder, solid safety pins, 90% plus vivid original case colors, 75% original silver on the front strap, 20% original silver on the back strap, minor marks and scratches, and relatively light overall wear. The grip is also excellent and has nearly all of the glossy original varnish, minor wear concentrated on the butt, and a few minor scratches. Mechanically excellent. The case is very fine and has light storage wear and a thin crack in the lid, and accessories are fine to very fine and have minor age and storage related wear.
