Please Note: In further researching this gun we sold this gun in 2004 and 2005. At that time there was no cylinder seam and markings were weak all of which have been re-rolled or enhanced since.

SCARCE COLT 3RD MODEL DRAGOON PERCUSSION REVOLVER WITH 8″ BARREL.

SN 19217. Cal. 44. Usual configurations with 8″ oct to rnd bbl, slightly altered silver nickel front sight and 1-line New York City address. Left side of frame has a small COLTS PATENT. The silver plated brass trigger guard & backstrap contain a varnished 1-pc walnut grip with last 4 digits of matching SN in backstrap channel. Cyl has the Dragoon-Indian fight scene roll marking with the “MODEL U.S.M.R.” and “COLT’S PATENT” cartouches faintly above & below the SN. There were about 10500 3rd Model Dragoon revolvers produced in the period 1851-1861, very few of which had the 8″ bbl. Having been produced just at the onset of the Civil War, it is almost with certainty that one could state that this revolver saw service during the Civil War and later on the American frontier. These revolvers, although large and heavy were still popular for their stopping power and longer range shooting. This revolver has 3-screw frame not cut for shoulder stock. Few of these revolvers survive, especially those with 8″ bbls. PROVENANCE: The Estate Collection of Phil A. Bleakney, Jr. CONDITION: Very good, all matching including wedge, cyl & grip. No orig finish remains, being an overall smooth grey/brown patina with scattered nicks & scratches and light surface etching. Cylinder is matching patina and shows 75-80% Dragoon-Indian fight scene roll marking with faint cartouches. Trigger guard & backstrap show an old cleaning with medium mustard patina. Grip has a chipped left toe, otherwise is sound with light edge wear and retains most of an old restored finish. Mechanics are fine. Strong bright bore with fine pitting. 49059-57 JR (7,000-10,000) – Lot 3138
