A factory engraved Colt 1849 Pocket revolver, serial number 146736, made in 1857 in .36 caliber with a 6-inch barrel. The gun retains about 90 percent of its original blue, and the frame shows traces of case colors in protected spots while the rest has settled to an even gray patina. Engraving is sharp, every number matches including the cylinder, and the cylinder scene is complete. Grips are excellent burl walnut, and the back strap and trigger guard keep all of their original silver. It sits in a deluxe rosewood case with accessories. SKU AC1257, used.

This is a collector's revolver for a New Jersey buyer who wants an engraved and cased Colt from the 1850s with matching numbers, not a gun to shoot. It is listed here as a handgun, so expect to apply for a Permit to Purchase through the NJSP online system and to collect it from a licensed dealer after the State Police check, case and accessories included.
