Pistols withdrawn as pair -- listing/selling separately.
Pistol #1: Colt 1849 Pocket, S/N 25307, manufactured in 1852
Manufactured in 1852 (9 years before the start of the Civil War!), this beauty is a numbers-matching specimin with a bit of roll-markings still visible on the five-shot cylinder, plus some rifling remaining in the bore, and, the action still works (mostly)!
You're not going to shoot it (or will you?), but you can turn the cylinder by pulling back on the hammer (it sometimes needs a bit of help).
Serial number 25307, just imagine who's handled this 31-caliber black powder pistol over all those years, and what it's experienced since it was first delivered to its owner from the Colt factory, 170 years ago!
There is a little wobble of the barrel and cylinder on the base pin, but the forcing cone-to-cylinder gap is prety tight, and lockup is good for all five cylinders. The revolver is all original (I believe), although the wedge is perhaps suspect -- I did buy a "factory original" wedge and wedge screw from oldarmsofidaho.com, and both the replacement and original parts it came with when I bought it are included.
Matching serial numbers are present on the frame (bottom), cylinder, grip bottom, loading lever, and trigger guard. Markings legible include "Colt Patent" on left side of frame below cylinder, "Address Sam Colt / New York City" on top of barrel, serial number and faint stage coach scene on cylinder, plus serial numbers.
I have not fired this revolver, nor have I cleaned it. Beautiful patina on an amazing piece of American history.
Pistol #2: Uberti Colt 1849 Pocket, S/N 03261
Manufactured in 1994 (date code "BD"), this five-shot modern reproduction is a perfect compliment to the genuine Colt antique. Case-hardened finish on steel frame, with brass backstrap and brass trigger guard -- just as on the original Colt!
Includes numbers-matching original box with manual and information cards. Also includes aftermarket Treso nipples (plus original nipples), along with a nifty black canvas fabric ambidextrous shoulder holster -- if you've ever wanted to be Josey Wales, this is the perfect shoulder rig to accompany your hip holsters!
I would like to sell these two pistols as a pair, priced at $1,400 shipped for everything (including extra nipples and holster, plus I'll include some 31-caliber lead balls!).
Shipped insured USPS Priority Mail. I am willing to split up the pair, but I will only sell the Uberti AFTER the Colt is sold, if the Colt's buyer doesn't want to also purchase the Uberti. Please contact me for price of revolvers separately.
I have 100% positive feedback on both Gunbroker and eBay, and have many satisfied buyers through muzzleloadingforum.com as well. Payment accepted through Zelle, Venmo, PayPal (FF), check, or money order -- if you want to pay another way, just let me know and I'm sure we can work it out!
Contact me (through the forum, or via text -- number below) for any questions, or for more/high-res images!
