SCARCE INSCRIBED COLT BABY DRAGOON PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

SCARCE INSCRIBED COLT BABY DRAGOON PERCUSSION REVOLVER. SN 4461. Cal. 31. Fine Baby Dragoon with 5″ oct bbl, brass pin front sight and 2-line New York City address with brackets reading from muzzle to cylinder. Left side of frame has tiny “COLTS PATENT” with a brass square back trigger guard & back strap containing a 1-pc walnut grip. It has usual 5-shot cylinder with round stop slots and a single crisp safety pin and is rolled with the Ranger/Indian fight scene. Cylinder pin has the cupped end to be used as a ramrod. Butt strap is inscribed in period script “S.C. Hutcheson”. Approx. 10,400 of this early style were produced and were Colt’s first truly successful attempt at a small pocket size revolver, not counting the limited success of the Baby & Belt Model Patersons. The vast majority of these little revolvers saw service almost exclusively on the frontier and are rarely found with much orig finish. They were extremely popular with outlaws, lawmen and other frontier folk needing a backup or easily concealed firearm. CONDITION: Very fine, all matching except the wedge & grip which are unnumbered. Wedge is the proper type and appears to be the same condition as the rest of revolver. Bbl retains about 95% strong dark orig factory blue with only muzzle & sharp edge wear and a couple of small flaked spots. Frame retains about all of its faded case colors with smoky patterns in gray finish. Trigger guard retains about 70% orig silver plating and back strap about 80%. Grip is sound showing moderate to heavy wear with light nicks & dings and retains traces of orig varnish. Cylinder retains 85-90% thin orig blue with its crisp safety pin and retains about 96-98% Ranger/Indian fight scene. Mechanics are fine, brilliant shiny bore with a couple of scattered tiny spots of pitting. 4-37747 (30,000-35,000)
