EXTREMELY RARE COLT BROADSIDE.

EXTREMELY RARE COLT BROADSIDE. Fine small broadside, overall length of about 16-1/2″ x about 10-3/4″, folded in the center with the line drawing of a Dragoon revolver on one side and directions for loading & cleaning on the other side. The line drawing of the Dragoon was apparently created by an artist with only rudimentary knowledge of Colt Dragoon revolvers. The drawing appears to have a 7-shot cylinder with square cyl stop notches as are found on 3rd Model Dragoons but has the square-back trigger guard of the 1st & 2nd Models. In addition, the drawing has the frame screws entering from the right side and the Dragoon/Indian fight scene on the cylinder reversed from the way it actually is on a revolver. The text on the left side admonishes the reader to “BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS AND PATENT INFRINGEMENTS”. The text at the bottom is a glowing advertisement for Colt pistols. This broadside is housed in a period deep, gold lined walnut frame with ancient 1-pc wood backing. The old paper over-label is missing. CONDITION: Appears to be completely intact, slightly yellowed with darker toning and some minor chipping on the visible top edge. Image & text are all crisp & legible. Frame is lightly soiled but fine. 4-40283 JR186 (3,000-5,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2011

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
