Description:
Antique CIVIL WAR Era 3rd Model COLT DRAGOON .44 Cal. PERCUSSION Revolver 

One of 10,500; Made in 1860

Here we present an antique Colt 3rd Model Dragoon Revolver, manufactured in 1860 in Hartford, Connecticut. Only 10,500 of this model were produced. The Third Model was first offered in 1851 and continued production through 1861, for a total of 10,500. The revolver is in .44 caliber, weighs 4 pounds and 2 ounces and has a part round and part octagonal barrel. The main difference between a Second and Third Model Dragoon is the change from a square-back trigger-guard to a rounded version. The barrel and cylinder were blued with casehardened frame, hammer and loading lever. The revolver was furnished with one-piece walnut grips which were varnished for the commercial market and oil-stained for the military contracts.

Colt’s Dragoons experienced some of the harshest conditions the mid-19th century had to offer, and it is amazing that any survived, in any condition. This pistol was designed for use by horse-mounted rifleman, and it is so much pistol that you will want a horse to carry it for you because of its significant weight. Undoubtedly this one would have seen use during the American Civil War. This is a great opportunity to add a nice one of Samuel Colt’s most recognized inventions to your collection, a Civil War era Colt Dragoon!

The overall condition is very good. Gray patina throughout. Nice cylinder scene. The action is excellent with solid lockup in the cylinder. The bore has good rifling. The grips is solid. The numbers match. A very nice Dragoon!
