For sale in this lot is an antique model 1849 Colt Pocket Pistol with a display box and accoutrements. This revolver is in fair condition, showing signs of wear consistent with its age. The finish is nearly gone and there is some light pitting. It has the two line New York barrel address and very nice carved ivory grips with President Abraham Lincoln on the right side and the United States seal on the left. It has all matching serial numbers and some of the original scene is still present on the cylinder. The display box includes: a period correct powder flask, Colt's Patent marked bullet mold, bullets and a cap case. The wood display case is nice with a purple fabric liner. This revolver cycles intermittently and we have not fired it. Keep in mind this is an antique and not warranted safe to shoot and it should not be attempted without the aid of an expert. What a great addition to your Colt collection! MAKER: Colt. Serial No. 114751. APPROX AGE: 1849. SIZE: 4 inch barrel, .31 cal..  CONDITION: Fair for its age, wear expected and probably needs a spring as the cylinder does not cycle as it should when cocked. Please look closely at the pictures as they are an important part of our description and are hereby incorporated into the description, specifically with regards to condition.
