WILD WEST Era Antique COLT “NEW LINE” .38 RF SINGLE ACTION Pocket Revolver
FRONTIER Conceal & Carry SELF DEFENSE Gun
Description: WILD WEST Era Antique COLT “NEW LINE” .38 RF SINGLE ACTION Pocket Revolver FRONTIER Conceal & Carry SELF DEFENSE Gun Here we present an antique Single Action Colt New Line .38 Caliber Revolver, made in 1876 with a production run between 1874 and 1880 in Hartford, Connecticut. A single action revolver, this small pocket revolver was one of a number of inexpensive handguns produced by Colt from 1873 to 1884. The “New Line” was Colt’s first production model handgun chambered for .38 caliber and outnumbered all other pistols in Colt’s “New Line” group. This revolver utilized a .38 cartridge matched to a 5-shot fluted cylinder fitted to a 2-1/4” long round barrel. About 12,516 were produced in .38 caliber during its six year production run. This revolver was designed to be a small but potent self-defense revolver for stowing in one’s pocket in the 19th Century. Spur Trigger “Suicide Special” manufacture was fierce during this time, and Colt struggled to compete against the countless small shops making very similar, less expensive revolvers, though not necessarily of the same quality. The Colt remained a steady, reliable force in firearms for much longer than the rest. This revolver features 5 shots of .38 caliber, a blued finish and rosewood grips. The New Line series of revolvers, including all calibers, was a single action pocket revolver introduced by the Colt’s Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company in 1873 and continued through 1884. Two years after the Colt House Revolver, a year after the Colt Open Top, and almost simultaneously alongside the Colt Peacemaker, the Colt New Line was one of the first metallic cartridge, rear-loading revolvers manufactured by Colt. The overall condition is fine. Original nickel finish preserved. The action is strong. The bore is in good shape for its age with visible rifling. Barrel address is worn, but legible. Solid grips. Here is a very handsome and collectible specimen of the Colt New Line .38! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 2-1/4 inches. Caliber: .38 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 $1400 #234100 SOLD Antique: Yes |
