ENGRAVED CIVIL WAR Era Antique COLT Model 1862 POLICE Revolver .36 caliber
1864 Made During the American Civil War
Description: ENGRAVED CIVIL WAR Era Antique COLT Model 1862 POLICE Revolver .36 caliber 1864 Made During the American Civil War Here we present an antique Colt Model 1862 Police Revolver, made in 1864 in Hartford, Connecticut. Its introduction was an attempt to fill a niche in the market for a pocket revolver suited for civilians and police of a larger caliber (.36) than the 1849 Pocket Revolver (.31). Much as the Colt 1851 Navy was a scaled-up version of the 1849 Pocket, the 1862 Police was a scaled down version of the 1861 Navy, which was a scaled down version of the 1860 Army. The result was a sleek, stylish and light, 5-shot pocket revolver in .36 caliber. Collectors today largely view these as the climax of the development of the percussion revolver. Unfortunately for Colt, the commercial market for the 1862 Police was overshadowed by cartridge revolvers. As a result, production was quite limited by Colt’s standards with approximately only 28,000 manufactured between 1862 and 1873. And, of those that were produced, it is estimated that 70% of these were converted to cartridge firearms leaving only 8,400 in the original state. These factors make the 1862 Police Revolver in its original percussion format quite scarce for collectors today. This revolver came with 3-1/2 inch, 4-1/2 inch and 6-1/2 inch barrels, with the 6-1/2 inch examples harder to come by. The overall condition is very good. This revolver has received engraving based on Gustave Young’s patterns that include scroll engraving with a punch dot background and wolf’s head on either side of the hammer, then was refinished. Excellent action. The bore is in good condition with nice rifling. Sharp engravings. The numbers match. Nice ivory grips set this piece off. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 4-1/2 inches. Caliber: .36 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $4500 #228513 SOLD Antique: Yes |
