Description:
Colt 1st Model Dragoon Revolver, c. 1849, serial number 4304, .44 caliber, walnut grip, marked on the left side of the frame "COLTS/PATENT.U.S.," barrel lg. 7 1/2, overall lg. 13 3/4 in.
Provenance: The collection of David F. Post.
Estimate $2,000-3,000
No finish on the gun with some pitting on the loading lever and barrel, and there is a repair on the upper part of the grip. The serial number on the barrel is 6242 so the gun is not matching. The Colt address is worn off the top of the barrel, and the gun functions properly.
