The Colt \"Pocket Percussion\" Model 1849 revolvers in .31cal are essentially scaled down versions of the larger Navy Model 1851 in .36cal, and were developed concurrently.

As this revolver has a serial number over 187000, it has a six round .31 caliber cylinder, instead of the previous five. It also features a standard 5\" barrel, and is in nice tight condition with nice lightly aged finish on the steel. Most importantly, the original \u003cstrong\u003e\"Stagecoach Robbery\"\u003c\/strong\u003e cylinder engraving can still be seen, and is more than 60% intact!
