I have an old Colt Pocket Pistol I understand was made in the mid 1800's. It is a 6 shot cap and ball, hex barrel looks like approx 36 caliber. All the serial numbers match (2078xx). The cylinder has a stagecoach scene on it with several men around it that appear to be shooting or robbing it. I tried to look it up several years ago and recall finding the serial numbers from that period were apparently lost in a fire at the Colt factory. Just wondering if anyone can fill me in a little on its history.
thanks

Forgot to mention the barrel marks read: ADDRESS COL SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S.AMERICA and the cylinder is marked: COLTS PATENT No078xx (just like the serial w/o the first number)
