Serial no. 181923, caliber .31. This is a standard five-shot model with attached loading lever and a large brass triggerguard. It has all matching numbers, including on the wedge. The 6? octagonal barrel has the “HARTFORD” address and has a bore with good rifling and even fine pitting. The cylinder retains about 70% of the scene and has fine to light surface pitting between two of the chambers. The mechanism works well. All of the steel surfaces have a plum patina with some fine pitting on the right side of the barrel and the right side of the frame and recoil shield that indicates this revolver probably lay in a case for years. The one-piece walnut grip shows only light wear and rates fine condition. The back of the backstrap has been professionally engraved “G. M. Brinley.” This is believed to be Lt. Godfrey M. Brinley of the 58th Pennsylvania Volunteers. Among other engagements, the 58th fought at Drewry’s Bluff, Cold Harbor, and in the siege operations at Petersburg and Richmond. Further research on Brinley should prove rewarding. Included with the revolver is a brown floral-carved single loop belt holster with laced edges. The holster is too large for this 1849 and it is believed that a 6? D. A. 38 will fit properly. It is very well made and in fine condition with the maker’s stamp, “A. Zabel / Maker / Ft. Worth Tex.” This Colt was made in 1860.
This is an antique revolver and transfers with no federal restrictions.
