- Lot Description
.44 caliber, 7.4375" octagonal-to-round barrel, S/N 7396 (mfg. ca 1849). Blued and case hardened finish, brass backstrap and square-backed triggerguard, one-piece walnut grip. Matching numbers throughout, grips not numbered. Wedge appears to be a renumbered replacement. Cylinder with visible Texas Ranger & Indian scene. Barrel marked ADDRESS SAML COLT NEW-YORK, running into a rear sight dovetail cut that has been filled. Left side of frame marked COLT'S / PATENT over US. Sub-inspection letters "B" and "K" remain visible on some parts. Grips with traces of varnish but no traces of cartouches are probably replacements from a civilian Dragoon, although they appear to be authentic. This gun's serial number makes it one of the last 1st Model Dragoons to be produced.
About good overall. Retains no finish, with a mottled and oxidized brownish patina and some scattered light pitting that is more moderate in some areas. Some markings are slightly weak, although most remain fully legible. Mechanically functional, good bore with strong rifling and scattered moderate pitting. Grip worn, with chips and dings. Wedge appears to be a renumbered replacement. Screws with light to moderate slot wear. Brass cleaned to bright and just starting to tone down.Condition
