Father owned it. He purchased it from someone.
Dear Stephanie,
Thank you for your help and patience.
The presented object appears to be a cased Colt 1849 Pocket percussion revolver with a 31 cal. It comes with a factory engraved decor, a five-camber cylinder, ivory grips, and a five-inch octagonal barrel. It was made in the year 1856 regarding the matching serial number 113457. The accessories of the box appear to be complete.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 2.000 to 4.000 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
