When EDC Pistols were classy: The Colt 1849 Pocket Percussion Revolver

This revolver was manufactured in 1853 and has stunning Germanic scroll and floral engraving on the barrel, loading lever, frame, hammer, trigger guard and back strap. The engraving most likely executed by John Marr. The engraving is closely matches the engraving on the examples attributed to Marr on pages 73-77 of "Colt Factory Engravers of the Nineteenth Century" by Herbert Houze.
