HANDY Post-CIVIL WAR / WILD WEST Antique COLT M1849 Percussion .31 POCKET 

WILD WEST/FRONTIER 5-Shot Revolver Made In 1869

Here we present an antique Colt Model 1849 Percussion Pocket Revolver, made in 1869 in Hartford, Connecticut. The Model 1849 Pocket, the replacement for the Baby Dragoon, was the most widely produced of any Colt percussion pistol. Nearly 340,000 were manufactured during its 23-year production run that ended in 1873. Over 280,000 of these were produced by Colt’s factory at Hartford by the end of the American Civil War in 1865. These were very popular and saw a lot of use on the battlefield, on the home front and in the West. These were some of the smallest, handiest pocket revolvers of the time.

One of the most aesthetically pleasing aspects of this pistol is its cylinder scene. Cylinder scenes during this period were common, especially for Colt, not only for their visual appeal, but because it made a revolver more difficult to forge. The scene on the 1849 Pocket is that of a stagecoach robbery.

The overall condition is good. Brown patina. Some cylinder scene remnants are present. The action functions, but the cylinder does not lock up. Good bore. Numbers match. Solid grip with average wear. Legible markings.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 6 inches.
