Scarce Civil War Colt Model 1849 // The "Gun That Won The West"
Product Description
The Colt model 1849 is sometimes referred-to as "the gun that won the West" as it was the preferred sidearm of cowboys, outlaws, and lawmen alike during the Gold Rush and Westward Expansion.
This fantastic, antique Long-barrel Colt Model 1849 Percussion Pocket Revolver was manufactured in 1862 during the heat of the Civil War. It features a scarce 5” octagonal barrel, .31 Caliber. It's in good condition for its age, with all serial numbers correctly matching and its original wood grips. It does show signs of wear and use overall, with some pitting and a missing screw. The finish is mostly worn away.
The barrel has the one-line Samuel Colt New York address “ADDRESS CCL SAM’L COLT NEW YORK US AMERICA”. The 5-shot round cylinder is worn but still shows faint traces of a stagecoach robbing scene that was once engraved on it, along with “COLTS PATENT” and serial number 215274. It cycles properly, but this is an antique and not warranted safe to shoot and it should not be attempted without the aid of an expert.
An excellent addition to any collection and a fantastic display piece with a ton of history and eye appeal.
