I have a pistol that was originally my grandfather's probably even farther back than that. I believe it is a Colt 1849 pocket revolver. I have been doing some researching online, and have yet to find one exactly like it. It has the Stagecoach scene engraved around the cylinder, however it also has engraving on the barrel, frame, backstrap, hammer and trigger guard. It looks as though it is original and not added later due to the fact that "Colt's Patent" is worked into the engraving. The other thing that seems inconsistent with what I have seen, is that there is no address on the barrel, just the scrollwork.
Now the bad, my grandfather and his brother-in-law loaded it up with modern (then) powder, and blew out one of the chambers in the cylinder.
If anyone out there could share information about, and possibly value of, I would greatly appreciate it.
