Excellent Belgian Colt Brevete "Brooklyn Bridge" Model 1849 Pocket Percussion Revolver with Book "Colt Brevete Revolvers" by Marcot/Paxton

The included book "Colt Brevete Revolvers" by Marcot and Paxton pictures an almost identical revolver on p. 304, and these "Brooklyn Bridge" revolvers are described on p. 298-307. They are so-named due to the suspension bridge scene often rollmarked on the cylinder, which collectors have since dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge. The top of the barrel is marked "ADDRESS COL SAML NEW MODEL U.S. PATENTED" with the typical "crossed keys" at either end. The matching serial number "32" is on the left of the front and back strap, right of the rammer, and inside both grips. Belgian proofs are visible on the right of the frame and barrel and it is fitted with smooth hardwood grips.

ConditionExcellent, retains 95% plus of the original blue, casehardened, and nickel finishes with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina. The grips are very fine with a few scattered minor dings. The hammer is slightly offset to the left. Mechanically excellent.
