Very Fine, Near Excellent, Cased Colt Pocket Navy Percussion Revolver

Also known as the "Pocket Model of Navy Caliber," this model is based upon improved steels and the rebated cylinder design first used on Colt's Model 1860 Army revolvers and also used on the Model 1862 Police. These offered more fire power while still remaining the same size as the popular Model 1849 Pocket. This example is an exceptional find and appears to have hardly ever left its case since it was manufactured around 1862. It has the standard markings and features including all matching serial numbers. It comes in an English fitted hardwood case with lead balls and bullets, a Colt patent dual cavity bullet mold, cap tin, and double sided eagle powder flask.

ConditionVery fine to excellent overall with 95% original glossy blue finish on the barrel, 30% original blue on the cylinder. Lack of blue on cylinder due to flaking, not wear. Smooth gray and brown patina where the finish has flaked, 90% plus of the vibrant original case colors on the frame as well as the hammer and loading lever, 25% original silver plating concentrated around the trigger guard bow and under the grip, dark aged patina on the brass, distinct markings and cylinder scene, and general light marks and scratches. The grip retains 95% plus of the glossy original varnish and has some minor pressure marks and scratches. Mechanically excellent. The case and accessories are good - very good and have mild storage wear including some repaired cracks in the case lid and re-glued interior partitions. This is one of the better standard Colt Pocket Navies we have ever brought to auction.
