Colt 1849 .31 Percussion
Mfg 1863. No FFL
Description: This is an 1849 Colt cap and ball pistol. It is clean looking but needs help. Needs a main spring, hand, and perhaps some other work. Holds on half and full cock. The screw for the bolt is present and works but should be removed and replaced. See photo. All numbers I've seen match, and the gun looks fairly clean overall. Excellent grips. The patina on the trigger guard and back strap is obviously quite old, but oddly, there is the name Jesse James under that patina on the back strap. It isn't noticeable until one looks closely. Maybe some old time admirer put it there because he liked Jesse James. Or perhaps his wife put it there after his death so she could sell it as one of Jesse's guns at an inflated price to some tourist. Definitely looks like it's been there for more than a hundred years. Price: $550.00 Antique: Yes Contact Seller |
