Scarce Civil War Era Colt Model 1849 // "Gun That Won The West"
Product Description
A fantastic and scarce antique Long-barrel Colt Model 1849 Percussion Pocket Revolver, manufactured circa 1859, and very likely saw use during the Civil War years. Scarce 5” barrel! In nice condition for its age, with all serial numbers correctly matching, and with its original wood grips. Signs of wear and use overall, including some pitting and various scuffs and dents, typical for a pistol of this age. The cylinder is worn and dinged from extensive wear and use, but still shows traces of the serial number. It cycles properly, however 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! Colt Serial No. 277700. 5-inch octagonal barrel, .31 Caliber. Entire pistol length 10 inches. 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. Ex Private West Virginia Collection.
