Description
This is an antique Colt Open Top Pocket Model Revolver chambered in .22 caliber, featuring a 7-shot cylinder and 2⅜-inch barrel. Produced during Colt’s early cartridge revolver era, this model exemplifies the compact, elegant pocket revolvers that defined Colt’s late 19th-century lineup.
This example retains its brass frame with visible original finish remnants and an even, honest patina throughout. The steel barrel and cylinder show typical age-related wear, while the walnut grips remain intact and serial-numbered, consistent with Colt factory practice of the period. Overall condition is solid for an antique pocket revolver, with better visual presentation than heavily worn examples.
As an antique firearm, this revolver is not subject to a 4473 transfer under federal law, making it especially appealing to collectors who want an original Colt without modern transfer requirements. It is best suited as a collector/display piece, though mechanical condition appears intact based on visible function.
