Description:
Antique 5-Shot COLT NEW LINE .41 RF POCKET Hideout Revolver “THE BIG COLT”

NICE Manufactured in 1876 in HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT

Here we present an antique Colt “New Line” .41 Caliber Rimfire Pocket Revolver made in 1876 in Hartford, Connecticut. This handy little 5-shot Colt, referred to as the “Big Colt” when it came out, carried quite the punch for a pocket self-defense revolver. The large caliber of this variation makes it the most desirable of the “New Lines” with approximately 10,702 manufactured from 1874-1879 due to the short 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.

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. With such a limited number of examples and the larger caliber, this is a very desirable firearm for a Colt collector.

The overall condition is good. Some blue is present in low-handled areas. Strong action. Good bore for its age. Both grips are in good shape with average handling wear. Markings are legible. A large “C” is marked on the left side of the frame.
