COLT LONDON POCKET 31 CALIBER

The Colt Model of 1849 “Pocket” was a direct improvement of the “Baby Dragoon”, lacking the square back trigger guard and round cylinder stops while adding the loading lever. The London model was a series of approximately 1100 made in Colt’s new plant in England, bearing English proofs. Overall, these were the most widely produced of any of Colt’s percussion revolvers. This London model is frankly in outstanding overall condition and bears striking factory engravings. Though the finish has largely faded to a consistent grey patina, there is no observable external corrosion. internally, the bore shows moderate pitting but strong rifling and the lockwork appears in good order. This pistol also comes with a wooden case with accessories.
