This lot features a Colt New Line .22 caliber revolver. The revolver features a 2 1/4" barrel, seven shot cylinder, rosewood grips, spur trigger, German silver front sight, and blue’d finish with brass frame. The Colt New Line was a single action pocket revolver introduced by the Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company in 1873. Two years after the Colt House Revolver (1871), a year after the Colt Open Top (1872) and almost simultaneously alongside the Colt Peacemaker (1873), the Colt New Line was one of the first metallic cartridge rear-loading revolvers manufactured by Colt's. It was, alongside the Colt Open Top Pocket Model Revolver (1871), one of the first pocket metallic cartridge revolvers made by the company. This revolver is in good condition, showing wear to finish and handling use. The mechanics are tight and work well. The Colt New Line .22 Caliber Revolver was in production from 1873 to 1877. This revolver was manufactured in 1876. Serial Number: 26963. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
