This '49 Pocket was manufactured in 1854 and comes in a hardwood presentation case with some balls and bullets, a double sided eagle pocket flask, Eley cap tin, L-shaped combination tool, and early brass ball and bullet mold without a sprue cutter. The revolver has a cone front sight, "{ADDRESS SAML COLT/NEW YORK CITY}" on top of the barrel at the breech, a "4" on the left side of the barrel lug and cylinder, the small "COLTS/PATENT" marking on the left side of the frame, "8" and "X" on the left side of the trigger guard, the classic stagecoach hold-up scene on the cylinder, and matching serial numbers on the loading lever, barrel, wedge, arbor pin, cylinder, frame, trigger guard, and back strap.

Fine with 70% plus original blue finish on the barrel, 20% original blue on the cylinder, 95% plus original silver plating on the trigger guard and back strap which displays an attractive aged patina and has some casting flaws, 40% of the muted original case colors, and general minor scratches and marks. The grip is very fine and has glossy varnish, minor lower edge wear, and light handling and storage marks. Mechanically excellent. The case and accessories are fine and have minor age and storage related wear.
