Antique CIVIL WAR 3rd Model COLT DRAGOON .44 Perc. Revolver

Here we present a rare antique Colt 3rd Model Dragoon Revolver, manufactured in 1859.
The overall condition is good. Gray patina throughout. The back strap has some silver finish, protected by the detachable stock. Some of the original cylinder scene remains visible. With the stock attached: the action will hold half cock but not full cock. This is due to the middle of the attaching iron having been split and then repaired at some point (this could be solved with a bit of file work if one was inclined). With the stock off the revolver: the hammer will hold both positions. The hand spring is weak, but if the muzzle is pointed down when the hammer is cocked the cylinder will index and lock up. The bore is in good condition with strong rifling. The grip shows use and remains solid. Numbers match throughout. The wedge screw is a replacement. The wood on the stock shows much use and remains solid. Dark weathered patina on the iron. A very scarce third model Dragoon with a—perhaps even rarer—detachable shoulder stock!

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
