Colt 3rd Model Dragoon .44 SN: 17785
Early Colt Third Model Dragoon cut for the third style shoulder stock, circa 1851. Features all matching serial numbers, a 7.5" half octagon barrel, "Address Saml Colt New York City" barrel address, dovetailed folding leaf rear sights, German silver front sight, four screw frame, notched recoil shield, iron backstrap with notch and one piece walnut grips. Revolver has a nice consistent mix of dark & light grey patina, markings are crisp and cylinder scene is not apparent. Wood grips are in excellent condition with small traces of vanish and rounded bottom-front corners. Bore is dark with sharp rifling and action works well. Cylinder appears to have replaced nipples, otherwise a great original example of an early Colt third model Dragoon. Condition is very good as antique. ***Antique Firearm***
