Antique Italian Reproduction 2nd Model COLT DRAGOON .44 Percussion Revolver
ENGRAVED 1978 Manufactured ICAM Signed
Here Ancestry Guns presents an antique classified Italian Reproduction of a Colt 2nd Model Dragoon Revolver, manufactured in 1978. Of the original guns, only an estimated 2,700 Second Model Dragoons revolvers were manufactured by Colt around 1850 and 1851 compared to 7,000 of the First Model Dragoons and 10,500 Third Model Dragoons, according to pages 84-86 of "Flayderman's Guide" (9th Edition). They are thus by far the scarcest of the primary Colt Dragoon revolvers. At least part of an Army contract for 1000 revolvers dated February 4, 1850, was filled with 2nd Dragoon Revolvers. The revolver has the distinctive combination of a square-back, brass trigger guard and rectangular cylinder stops found only on the 2nd Model Dragoons and has the V-shaped mainspring used to about serial number 10,000.
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. The original 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. The original 2nd Models would have seen use during the American Civil War. This is a great opportunity to add a nicely engraved reproduction, one of Samuel Colt’s most recognized inventions, to your collection.
