PRESENTATION COLT MODEL 1849 POCKET REVOLVER.
.31 caliber, five-shot cylinder with engraved stagecoach scene, 4" octagonal barrel with two-line New York address, walnut grips. S/n 51714.

Engraved on the backstrap is "Dr. E.D.P. to "T.W.S." for Dr. E.D. Peck to Thomas W. Sanderson. Peck was a surgeon with the Board of Enrollment, District 10, and Sanderson was, initially, an officer in the 2nd Ohio Cavalry, but resigned his commission in May of 1862, when Ohio Governor David Tod appointed him to a major in the 10th Ohio Calvary. He was with the Army of the Cumberland as well as with Sherman's march, and climbed the ranks, and was ultimately brevetted brigadier-general for gallantry in action at Bear Creek Station, near Atlanta.

Condition: Gray patina with only traces of bluing, wedge is quite loose but the serial number matches, action a little losse, traces of silvering on the straps and trigger guard, bore with light pitting, marks clear, cylinder scene hard to discern. Manufactured 1852.
