Antique 5-Shot COLT NEW LINE .30 Caliber RF ETCHED PANEL POCKET Revolver  

WILD WEST Conceal & Carry Made in 1875

Here we present an antique Etched Panel Colt New Line .30 Caliber Rimfire Revolver, made in 1875 in Hartford, Connecticut. A single action revolver, this small pocket revolver was one of a number of inexpensive handguns produced by Colt from 1873 to 1884. The “New Line” was Colt’s first production model handgun chambered for .32 caliber and outnumbered all other pistols in Colt’s “New Line” group. This revolver utilized a .30 caliber rimfire cartridge matched to a 5-shot fluted cylinder fitted to a 2 ¼” long round barrel. About 22,000 were produced.

This revolver was designed to be a small but potent self-defense revolver for stowing in one’s pocket in the 19^th Century. Spur Trigger “Suicide Special” manufacture was fierce during this time, and Colt struggled to compete against the countless small shops making very similar, less expensive revolvers, though not necessarily of the same quality. The Colt remained a steady, reliable force in firearms for much longer than the rest. This revolver features 5 shots of .30 Rimfire, a handsome wizened nickel finish and rosewood grips.

The New Line series of revolvers, including all calibers, was a single action pocket revolver introduced by the Colt’s Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company in 1873 and continued through 1884. Two years after the Colt House Revolver, a year after the Colt Open Top, and almost simultaneously alongside the Colt Peacemaker, the Colt New Line was one of the first metallic cartridge, rear-loading revolvers manufactured by Colt.

The overall condition is good. Original finish. The bore is in good shape. The cylinder does not index. Good grips with less than average wear. The left frame is lightly engraved. Sharp markings.
