ANTEBELLUM Antique Pre-CIVIL WAR COLT M1849 Perc. POCKET Revolver FRONTIER
1853 mfg. Civil War Revolver Used into the WILD WEST
Description: ANTEBELLUM Antique Pre-CIVIL WAR COLT M1849 Perc. POCKET Revolver FRONTIER 1853 mfg. Civil War Revolver Used into the WILD WEST Here we present an antique Colt Model 1849 Pocket Revolver, made eight years before the start of the Civil War in 1853 in Hartford, Connecticut. The Model 1849 Pocket, the replacement for the Baby Dragoon, was the most widely produced of any Colt percussion pistol. Nearly 340,000 were manufactured during its 23-year production run that ended in 1873. Over 280,000 of these were produced by Colt’s factory at Hartford by the end of the American Civil War in 1865. These were very popular and saw a lot of use on the battlefield, on the home front and in the West. These were some of the smallest, handiest pocket revolvers of the time. Though not a primary military arm during the American Civil War, these handguns were commonly privately purchased by soldiers for use on the battlefield.Whether legend or fact, it is interesting to note something commonly read about pocket revolvers of the day, that while they could be used for self-defense against the enemy, many soldiers kept them on their person to defend themselves against an unwanted amputation in the primitive field hospitals that were notorious, even in their day. The overall condition is good. Dark patina throughout. The action is strong. The bore is in very good condition with strong rifling. The grips are solid. Numbers match throughout. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 5 inches. Caliber: .31 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 $1800 #247350 Price: $1,800.00 Buy Now Antique: Yes Contact Seller |
