Left side of frame has a small “COLTS PATENT” over a small “U.S.”.

Cyl has usual six chambers with Dragoon/Indian fights scene roll marking and “MODEL U.S.M.R. / COLT’S PATENT” cartouche surrounding the SN. All six safety pins are serviceable. The 3rd Model Dragoon was the most prolific of the Dragoons with about 10,500 produced during the period 1851-1861. This particular gun was made in first year production of 3rd models in 1851.
