Description
74th New York Infantry Colt Pocket Model Navy. This rare regimental marked Colt Hartford made pistol is inscribed with "Co. D, 74th NY" on the butt, as well as "5th" Corps inscribed behind the hammer. It includes all matching serial #204945 and engraved battle scenes on the cylinder.

A hard fighting unit, their commanding officer, General Barry, was killed at Chancellorsville. They lost 143 men at Williamsburg and another 89 men during the Battle of Gettysburg. This gun saw a lot of action!Auction Info
