Presented here is a classic Colt cap and ball revolver commonly referred to as the 1849 Pocket Model. This personal sidearm, in very good original condition overall, features a 4” long, octagonal barrel matched to a .31 caliber, six-shot cylinder that has a roll pressed design retaining nearly all of the “stage coach holdup” scene. Original nipples. Safety pins all remain in fair condition; only lightly hammered down. All serial numbers (#7584) match, including wedge. Number indicates a 1855 date of manufacture. “ADDRESS, COL. COLT / LONDON” is stamped on the top facet of the barrel. The standard “COLTS / PATENT” is stamped on the left side of the frame. Screw heads are in good condition. Viewer and proof marks with crowns are found on the barrel and cylinder.

Gun metal is smooth and clean and exhibits some of the original blue and case colors. Revolver is mechanically strong with good action. Grips are of varnished, one-piece, walnut in very good condition. Back strap and the trigger guard are iron.

An excellent example of a London-made Colt revolver.  [jet]
