Metropolitan Arms Co. Pocket Police
Description:
Here we have a very nice MARKED "Police Pocket" model percussion revolver, made by the Metropolitan Arms Company of New York City. Established in February 1864, the company mainly manufactured copies of Colt Model 1851 and 1861 Navy Revolvers, as well as copies of Colt Model 1862 METROPOLITAN ARMS Pocket Police Revolver. Two of the firm's principle officers were Samuel and William Syms (formerly of Blunt & Syms) and it is believed that they were responsible for production. Almost all of the Metropolitan pistols were produced during 1864 to 1866 period, which coincides with the period that Colt was out of production due to a massive factory fire. Company itself was not dissolved until 1920.In form and function, the Metropolitan Arms Pocket Police is so similar to the Colt Model 1862 Pocket Police that they are often confused for one another. Like the Colt, it is a "Navy Caliber" (.36) 5 shot .36 caliber percussion revolver, and was often purchased by serving Officers as a reserve handgun carried on the inside of their tunics. With the great need for arms, most likely the patent infringements were ignored, as the Union Army needed guns.This very nice example is in nice condition, and has matching serial number 2783 on parts, including the barrel, frame, grip, cylinder, barrel wedge, and trigger guard! This is a very nice "ALL MATCHING" example, without any parts swapped out during its service life. Unfortunately not much is known about the serial number system used, so it is not possible to give a definitive date of manufacture for the revolver. Top of the 5 1/2" barrel still has the original maker markings visible: METROPOLITAN ARMS Co. NEW - YORK The revolver not only looks good but it is in tight fully functional condition, with a strong hammer pull, and good cycling. We did not notice any of the usual issues with cylinder lock up and indexing. The pistol metalwork is now faded to a gray/brown patina. The grips themselves are in very nice condition, with a lovely color. The bore has a mostly bright finish, with clear lands and grooves.
