Iron, two cavity bullet mold for the .31 caliber Colt Model 1849 “Wells Fargo” Pocket Revolver. The revolver was a cap and ball single-action pocket revolver. This is one of the rarest and most desirable of the Colt M1849 Pocket Revolver variants produced and is called the “Wells Fargo” model by collectors. This is simply a collector’s term, and these interesting variant M1849s have nothing to do with the Wells Fargo company, nor are any examples known with legitimate Wells Fargo markings. However, since the nickname has been in use by collectors for so many decades, there is little likelihood that the term will ever be dropped from use. From a visual standpoint, the “Wells Fargo” M1849 Pocket Revolver was simply a Model 1849 produced without an attached rammer and without the plunger hole cut in the frame.

This mold casts one round ball and one elongated bullet. There is no sprue cutter on this design of mold. It is clearly marked "COLT'S / PATENT" across the top faces of the two mold halves. Cavities remain clean. Small stamped “R” on one mold block. A very few, very small dings on mold halves.

This is an excellent example of a rare Colt Root bullet mold.   [jet][ph:L]
