Description:

One of an estimated only 250 No. 1 Pocket Pistols manufactured with a 6" barrel circa 1857-1860 by the New Haven Arms Co.

The frame is engraved with floral scroll designs with a simple dash border. The top barrel flat is marked "NEW HAVEN CONN/PATENT FEB 14, 1854". The serial number is marked on the left side of the frame under the grip and on the inside of each grip panel. It has a blue barrel, casehardened hammer and lever, and silver plated frame. Includes a contemporary glass top display case.
