Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is a 1/2 scale Colt “Baby” Paterson black powder percussion five shot revolver with the Ehler’s loading lever made by Fred Thacker of El Paso, Texas, or possibly by Tom Weston of Mexico City, Mexico. It is really difficult to know since they both used some of the same craftsmen. The case looks like a typical Thacker case, and the fact that there is no barrel address leads me to believe it is a Thacker. The revolver is 3 1/8″ long overall with a 1 9/16″ octagon barrel of .118 caliber. High polish bright blue finished steel except for the hammer and trigger which are case colored. One piece light colored walnut grip. Blued cone front sight. Fully functional. Includes what I believe to be the original Thacker mahogany case with push button latch. The interior semi-French fit and lined in a purple velour. Accessories include the proper single spout powder flask, a three legged bullet mold with walnut handles that cast a single round ball, and the combination tool which is a nipple wrench, screwdriver, and mainspring vise. Excellent near mint condition with just the most minor signs of handling, I’d call it 99+%. !!!!!SOLD!!!!! TG
