Project Description

!!!!!PRICE REDUCED!!!!!  This is a 1/3 scale Colt “Baby” Paterson black powder percussion five shot revolver with the Ehler’s loading lever made by Tom Weston of Mexico City, Mexico, circa 1950 – 1965.  The revolver is 3 1/8″ long overall with a 1 9/16″ octagon barrel of .118 caliber.  Highly polished bright charcoal blue steel finish.  One piece medium dark colored walnut grip.  Blued cone front sight.  Fully functional, including the folding trigger, & proper indexing cylinder .  Includes the original Weston mahogany case with push button latch.  The interior semi-French fit and lined in a dark purple velour.  Accessories include the proper single spout fully functional brass powder flask, a three legged bullet mold with walnut handles & brass ferules that cast a single round ball, and the combination tool which is a nipple wrench, screwdriver, and mainspring vise.  The left rear of the frame & the backstrap have turned a smooth plum color, the balance of the revolver shows a beautiful bright charcoal blue.  The flask has a pleasing aged patina.  The mold & tool are near mint.  The case is near mint, showing only some minor dings & scratches.  The bottom lightly stamped “WKDF”, which I think stands for Weston Krafts, the DF being the state in Mexico Weston’s shop was located in.  I’ve never seen this marking on a Weston case.  The case top has an overlaid rectangular brass escutcheon with scalloped corners.  The front cover on the book case is very loose, having separated about 80% from the spine.  The book case is titled “THE TOURIST COMPANION”.  Also included is a small paperback booklet with some history of the Eiler’s Paterson, Tom Weston, & Fred Thacker.  Priced accordingly.  Stock # BF-38.  Price Reduced:  $2,250.00.
