Model 1849 Pocket, cased with accessories.

NOTE: This advertisement appeared in the Spring of 2007 at AntiqueGunList.com:

“Colt 1849 Pocket Model, 31 cal., 4 inch barrel, 5 shot, SN 136XXX 1859. It has all matching numbers including the rammer but the wedge is un-numbered and appears not to be an original Colt wedge. It is loose but will not come out without removing the wedge screw. The action is tight and correct, no looseness between frame and barrel. The cylinder has about 70% scene and the screws are all good. The frame and barrel are smooth and not pitted, hints of color. The 2 line New York address, serial numbers and patent stamp are all sharp and readable. The back strap and trigger guard have 30% silver remaining. The original grips appear to have been re-varnished as they are in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. Overall condition very good. $1,295.”

As did the following advertisement. Note that the gun and its presentation are very different from the previous, yielding a very different asking price:
