FINE CASED Antique COLT “NEW LINE” .30 Rimfire ETCHED PANEL Pocket Revolver

Nickel Plated BRITISH PROOFED with ANTIQUE AMMO

Here we present an antique Cased Etched Panel Colt New Line .30 Caliber Pocket Revolver, made in 1875 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 .32 caliber and outnumbered all other pistols in Colt’s “New Line” group. This revolver utilized a .30 caliber cartridge matched to a 5-shot fluted cylinder fitted to a 2-1/4” long round barrel. The .30 caliber models were manufactured between 1874 and 1876 with 10,946 revolvers being produced.

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 .30 caliber and a handsome wizened nickel finish.

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. The action is excellent. The bore is in good condition with strong rifling. The grips are solid with original finish. Numbers match. The case is in fine condition. The initials “T.H.” are engraved on the lid. It comes with a case key and 12 original cartridges, shipped where permissible.
