SCARCE CONFEDERATE USED COLT 3RD MODEL DRAGOON PERCUSSION REVOLVER. SN 14978. Cal. 44. Usual configuration with 7-1/2″ oct to rnd bbl, usual New York address with German silver front sight. It has “COLT’S PATENT” on left side of frame with small inspector initials on various parts. It has vertical rammer latch and brass trigger guard & backstrap with 1-pc walnut grip. Top of backstrap has hand scratched initials, probably with point of a knife, “RHH”, with “CA6VA” and buttstrap has hand scratched legend “BTC” with balance obliterated. Bottom of each side of grip is stamped “CO A”. These markings indicate that this revolver was carried by a Confederate soldier with initials “RHH” who was in Company A of the 6th Virginia Battery or something like that. Regardless, for sure, it was with a unit called the 6th Virginia. Accompanied by a Confederate style flap holster of 1-pc medium weight black leather with sewn edge and toe plug with a riveted simple belt loop. Flap has two holes for a small brass stud. Back has stitching holes, apparently where the orig belt loop was lost & replaced. CONDITION: Good to very good, all matching including wedge. No orig finish remains, being a mottled, cleaned silver/gray patina with light to moderate surface pitting and heavy edge wear at muzzle. Cylinder is matching condition with no remaining scene. Frame & hammer are also matching condition with light fine pitting. Trigger guard & backstrap retain traces of orig silver plating, being a medium mustard patina. Grip has a repaired left toe & chipped right toe showing heavy wear with a hand worn patina. Mechanics are fine, strong bore with moderate to heavy pitting. Holster shows wear with crackled surface on folded edges with some losses of orig finish. There is a small tear at back edge of flap but overall it is solid & supple. 4-32954 JR389 (7,000-12,000)
