Colt Third Model Dragoon Percussion Revolver 44 caliber, 7.5” barrel, S/N 11968. Blue and case hardened finish, matching visible numbers except cylinder which is numbered 11258, brass straps, wood grips. Condition: This big Colt is in overall very good condition showing an even brown patina on the barrel assembly and cylinder with some original blue in protected areas of the former. The cylinder shows considerable original scene. The frame and loading lever have traces of original case color mixed with silver toning. There is an “0” marking adjacent to the serial numbers on the barrel assembly, frame, triggerguard and backstrap. The action is crisp, the markings are sharp and there is a “U.S.” under the Colt’ Patent stamp on the left side of the frame although there are no visible inspector cartouches on the grips. The front sight is an old and possibly period replacement. The grips show even wear and the left side of the grips have an old missing chip at the lower front corner and a ding in that same area. EST $4000-$8000
