PIPE CASE COLT “New Line” .22 Revolver LONDON 7-Shot Hideout Nickel Antique

With Mother of Pearl Grips!

Here we present an antique Cased London Proofed Colt New Line .22 Revolver, made in 1876 in Hartford, Connecticut. The “New Line” was a single action pocket revolver introduced by the Colt’s Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company in 1873 and continued through 1884, with the .22 caliber being manufactured between 1873 and 1877 with a total of roughly 55,343 being manufactured.

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. It was designed to be a handy pocket-carry revolver, chambered in .22 rimfire, which was very popular for self-defense in these days.

The revolver features 7 shots of .22 rimfire. Of all the Colt “New Line” revolvers made, the .22 caliber was the only one featuring a 7 shot cylinder. Patent dates are on the bottom of the barrel.

The overall condition is fine. Original nickel finish with fire blue accents. Bright bore with sharp rifling. Strong, tight action all the way around. Very nice fitted pipe case. Both pearl grips are in fine shape with less than expected wear. Legible markings and the etching on the barrel is intact. Here is a very handsome and collectible specimen of the Colt New Line .22!
