Featured in this lot we have a Colt model 1849 black powder percussion cap pocket revolver chambered in .31 caliber. This is a fine, original example .31 caliber, five-shot revolver that found favor with officers and enlisted men as personal weapons during the Indian Wars of the period. Many of these also saw service in the gold fields of California, the settling West, and in about all urban areas during this very turbulent time of Post-Civil War Reconstruction. The 1849 was one of Colt’s most popular designs that was large enough for aimed fire, but small enough to conceal in a waste band or unobtrusive holster. They also found favor with gamblers and “ladies of the evening.” The barrel is marked “ADDRESS SAM’L COLT NEW-YORK CITY", along with “COLT’S PATENT” on the left side of the frame. The revolver features nice, overall aged patina metal. Fine walnut grips show only normal light wear. This example also shows a mellow, uncleaned brass back strap and trigger guard. This revolver, with very attractive overall appearance, has all sharp markings, matching serial numbers, fine screws, and original loading lever. This is one of the most popular and successful of the Colt percussion revolvers and a key model for any Colt or Old West collection. Serial Number: 51535. This firearm qualifies as an Antique and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
