This is a highly sought after example of a Colt No. 2 Belt Model Paterson Revolver with the original factory case along with accessories. Colt manufactured approximately 850 Belt Model No. 2 revolvers at the Paterson, New Jersey, factory between 1837 and 1840. Experts believe that fewer than 250 of these revolvers still exist today, and only a small number retain the original factory cases. The revolver has a high polish blue finish on the barrel, cylinder, frame, grip straps and hammer. The grips are highly figured walnut with a high polish piano finish. The five-shot, square back cylinder is roll engraved with the centaur hunting scene. This No. 2 Model C Revolver has the distinctive square-back cylinder, flared barrel lug, double curve barrel lug, flat butt and is in the correct 100-200 serial number range. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped "-Patent Arms Mg Co Paterson N.J. Colt's Pt.-" with small arrows at either end of the legend. The serial number is visible on the rear of the barrel lug, the wedge, the rear face of both cylinders, on the left side of the trigger, on the cylinder plate in the trigger slot and on the bottom right edge of the grip. The revolver is complete with a Colt factory case with accessories. The rectangular, varnished mahogany case has a beveled lid inlaid with a silver plate with scalloped edges.
