Cased Colt London Pocket Revolver

This is a good fifth model Colt Pocket London with matching serial numbers including the wedge. The top strap is stamped "Address Colonel Colt London" The cylinder has an excellent cylinder scene and there is evidence of case hardening extant as can be seen from the photographs. The revolver has the usual London refinements of domed screws and heavier cross hatched hammer spur.
The case is 100% Colt as is the mould which casts a conical and ball bullet. The flask is contemporary but not the usual Dixon, and the loading instructions are original. The bore of the revolver has fine and deep rifling but there is some minor pitting but overall this is a fine example and better than most.
The serial number dates the revolve to 1855.
This is fresh to the market and has been in one family's hands for 150 years. The family explained that the original owner bought it from new to protect his licensed premises in the East End of London!
This is overall a very decent cased set that hasn't been messed with and at a reasonable price for the quality.
