Manufactured from 1865 to 1873, the majority of New Model Pocket production was manufactured or converted to use metallic cartridges, making original percussion examples like this relatively scarce.

The serial number is on the bottom of the barrel, left of the grip frame, the tang of the iron trigger sheath, and hand marked inside both grips. It is fitted with blade and frame notch sights as well as a pair of smooth rosewood grips. Provenance: The Milan J. Turk Collection

ConditionFine, retains 70% of the original blue on the barrel, traces of original silver on the trigger sheath, and traces of original blue on the remainder with the balance having thinned to mostly a brown-grey patina.
