COLT 2ND MODEL DRAGOON PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

SN 10894. Cal. 44. Usual configuration with 7-1/2″ oct to rnd bbl, German silver front sight and 1-line right hand New York City address. Rammer has vertical latch. Left side of frame has a tiny “COLTS PATENT”. The square back brass trigger guard & back strap contain a 1-pc walnut grip. Cyl is usual 6-chambers with Dragoon/Indian fight scene roll marking and rectangular stop notches. There were only about 2,700 of these revolvers produced in the period 1850-1851 with most publications giving the serial range generally as 8000 thru 10700. The 2nd Model is the most scarce of all the Dragoons and one of the most difficult to find with high orig finish. As with the 1st Model Dragoons, these revolvers were all sold to either the government or private civilian sales and virtually all saw hard & continuous service from the early 1850s right through the Civil War and later on the American frontier. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Douglas Sirkin. CONDITION: Very good, all matching except grip which is unnumbered. No orig finish remains being an overall cleaned gray metal patina with fine pin prick pitting around the muzzle and on the bbl lug; frame is matching patina, also with fine surface etching; cyl is a little darker patina and shows 60-70% Dragoon/Indian fight scene roll marking with completely legible cartouches surrounding the SN; trigger guard & back strap, which were never silver plated, are a medium mustard patina. Grip shows moderate wear with a few nicks & dings and retains a hand worn patina. Mechanics are fine, strong bright bore with scattered pitting. 4-50048 JR177 (5,000-7,000) – Lot 2185
