Manufacturer: Colt
Model: 1849
Type: Revolver
Gauge: 31
Barrel: 2 inch octagon
Finish: blue/silver

Stock:
Item Views: 3863
Item Interest: Active
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 89
Class: Antique
Description:

Manufactured in 1861 and subsequently cut-down to a much more concealable barrel length and equipped with a soldered German silver blade front sight. Other than the partially cut off barrel marking it has standard markings, including matching serial numbers on the barrel, trigger guard, and butt with partial number on the wedge. The grips are carved with the profile of what appears to be a Spanish Conquistador. Pistols of this style sometimes are called "Avenging Angels".

Rating Definition:

Fair, showing traces of the original silver plating on the trigger guard and back strap. Mix of grey and brown patinas throughout with some pitting present on the exposed metal. The loading lever assembly is absent. The grips are fine with some age cracking and a yellow coloration. Mechanically needs work as cylinder does not rotate.
