This 1849 Colt pocket model revolver with all matching serial numbers is in good condition and has been reblued.
The revolver has serial number 46470 matching on all parts but the unmarked loading lever, which gives it an 1852 date of manufacture.
The five-inch octagonal barrel, marked with the two line New York address: “Address Saml. Colt / New-York City”. Bore is clear with light oxidation amid good rifling. Loading lever assembly is complete, yet unnumbered. The six-shot cylinder shows wear with very little of the stagecoach cylinder scene visible amid the rebluing. The Colt patent information and serial number is still readable. The original nipples are good and safety pins are mashed. Frame is stamped "Colts / Patent" on left side. Mechanically crisp and strong. All gun metal is good condition with an even deep blue tone overall from being refinished.
The one-piece walnut grips are very good with great color, unmarred, and with all their varnish. The grip strap and trigger guard show much of their thin silver wash, with a nice aged tarnish.
Popular with travelers, westerners, and Civil War officers. [jet][ph:L]
