Update:
The seller has agreed to take the cased 1849 Pocket back. He is shipping me a 1847 manufactured 1848 Baby Dragoon, SN 171. It is inscribed as a presentation piece to a soldier of the Civil War. My day is now complete.
Taking this discussion back ontract, I recently had a freind break my antique Colt 1851 Navy. I will refrain from repeating my expletives. Suffice to say that I had to take it apart to see what broke. I used the rammer to help separate the barrel from the cylinder. I did place a brass punch between the barrel and the rammer. It was the only thing that I had on hand at the time. This procedure worked. So thankyou all for this tip!
