Description:

Manufactured in 1860. This is a scarce Model 1849 Pocket Model "Wells Fargo" variation with a three inch barrel without provisions for a loading lever, a solid lug without loading slots, and otherwise standard Model 1849 markings and features including matching visible serial numbers on the frame, trigger guard, butt, arbor pin, cylinder, and wedge.

Rating Definition:

Very good, retains faint traces of the original case colors and 40% of the original silver plating with the balance either a smooth grey patina or an attractive lightly aged brass and a few scattered areas of light pitting. The grip is very fine with some scattered light handling marks and some light wear near the bottoms. Mechanically excellent.
