Colt New Line .30 Revolver, c.1874

Selling on consignment: A very good Colt New Line revolver made c.1874 and chambered for the now obsolete .30 rimfire cartridge.

When Colt introduced their New Line revolvers in 1873, this petite model was an immediate success due to their ease of concealability, however, over the coming years as Colt introduced increasingly larger calibres to their range, this diminutive revolver was dropped from their catalogue after just two years of production. Nevertheless, demand for these pistols remained strong among those requiring something highly concealable. As a result, it is difficult to find good Colt New Line revolvers in this calibre, as so many continued to be carried for many years.

Presented in full working order and crisp condition, this Colt is a sweet revolver. With overall even signs of wear, it has clearly been handled and carried, but it remains free from any signs of tampering or abuse.

A lovely example with matching serial numbers, good grips and crisp marking throughout.
