SCARCE Antique 1st Model COLT DRAGOON in .44
Samuel Colt’s Comeback Horse Pistol Made in 1848
Here we present an antique Colt 1st Model Dragoon .44 Revolver, made in 1849 in Hartford, Connecticut. The Colt Dragoon hardly needs an introduction. It was the refined predecessor to the Colt Walker and was a horse pistol in every sense of the word. Weighing over 4 lbs. you would definitely want a horse to carry it for you. It was also designed to be able to take down man or beast on the battlefield. Though it was not Colt’s best seller, it has become one of the most iconic of the Colt pistols. Only about 7,000 of this variant was ever produced. Many were used in the American Civil War, though the Union would adopt the much smaller Colt 1860 Army, a much-streamlined version with the same .44 caliber firepower.
It features the earlier square-backed trigger guard as opposed to the later rounded version. This would have been purchased or issued as a pair in many cases to be carried in pommel holsters on a saddle. This one is “US” marked”.
The overall condition is good. The iron surfaces are dark with age. The markings are clear and legible. The numbers all match. The grips are in good shape with the handling marks you would expect. The bore is in good shape with nice rifling. The action is strong.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 7-1/2 inches.
Caliber: .44
