VERY NICE Antique COLT “OPEN TOP” .22 RF SA Self Defense POCKET Revolver
Colt’s Answer to Smith & Wesson’s No. 1 Revolver
Description: VERY NICE Antique COLT “OPEN TOP” .22 RF SA Self Defense POCKET Revolver Colt’s Answer to Smith & Wesson’s No. 1 Revolver Here we present an antique Colt Open Top .22 Rimfire Single Action Spur Trigger Pocket Revolver, made in 1877 in Hartford, Connecticut, with a production run from 1871 through 1877. These revolvers were crafted with self-defense in mind, making their debut in 1871, right after the Smith & Wesson's Rollin White Patent expired. This change opened the doors to a market eager for metallic cartridge firearms that had a cylinder bored right through. For over a decade, from 1857 to 1869, Smith & Wesson monopolized this innovative design, leaving little room for competitors. Not everyone in those Wild West days was a cowboy toting a Colt’s Single Action Army. Many civilians wouldn’t have carried a firearm at all if it weren’t for options that they could tuck away in a pocket, purse, or muff—similar to what many do today. The Open Top revolver enjoyed some success, offering seven shots of .22 rimfire ammunition, but by around 1877, production came to an end. This was largely due to tough competition from a host of manufacturers producing similar but cheaper options. The overall condition is fine. Bright, original nickel finish. Excellent action. The bore is in good shape with a light frosted appearance and serviceable rifling. Good grips with average handling. Markings are legible. Visible numbers match. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 2-3/8 inches. Caliber: .22 Rimfire 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 $1450 #250748 Antique: Yes Price: $1,450.00 Buy Now Pay with
