Civil War Colt Model 1849 // The "Gun That Won The West"
Product Description
Antique Colt Model 1849 Percussion Pocket Revolver, manufactured in 1861, during the heat of the Civil War. In nice condition for its age, with all serial numbers correctly matching, and with its original wood grips, which under the varnish show either intentionally engraved words, or simply holster scratches. Signs of wear and use overall, including some pitting and various scuffs and dents, typical for a pistol of this age. The barrel has the two line Hartford address “ADDRESS SAM’L COLT HARTFORD CT”. The cylinder is worn but still shows traces of a stagecoach robbing scene that was once engraved on it, along with “COLTS PATENT” and serial number. It cycles properly, however this is an antique and not warranted safe to shoot and it should not be attempted without the aid of an expert. An excellent addition to any collection! Colt Serial No. 188195. 4-inch octagonal barrel, .31 Caliber. Entire pistol length 9 inches. With attractive custom metal stand (entire piece stands 5 inches tall). A fantastic display piece with a ton of history and eye appeal. **The Colt model 1849 is known as the Gun that Won the West as it was the preferred sidearm of cowboys, outlaws and lawmen alike during the Gold Rush and Westward Expansion.
