Lot 15010:
Colt Dragoon "USMR" .44 BP
The Colt M-1848 aka Dragoon series of revolvers were a direct result of the lessons learned from the manufacture and field use of the M-1847 "Walker” percussion revolvers. The 3rd Model Dragoon went into production in 1851 and remained in production through about 1861, with roughly 10,500 being produced. The most noticeable difference from the 2nd Model to the 3rd Model Dragoon is the adoption of the rounded trigger guard, bringing the use of the "square back” trigger guard to an end in the Dragoon series. All of the Dragoon revolvers were 6-shot, single action percussion pistols in .44 (aka "Army”) caliber. This collectors item comes with the original box and accessories as well as a custom made display box. Please see photos.
