Description
Colt Baby Dragoon Pocket Revolver .31 caliber, five shot cylinder, serial number 12531. Approximately 15,500 Baby Dragoon Revolvers were produced from 1847 to 1850. This late production piece bears a 4 inch octagonal barrel with attached loading lever. The top of the barrel is marked, "ADDRESS SAML COLT / NEW - YORK CITY." Serial numbers appear on the backstrap by the toe, the front of the trigger guard, the barrel lug and top flat of the loading lever. The wedge and cylinder are both marked, "531" and the cylinder retains a visible Rangers and Indian scene. "COLTS / PATENT" was also noted on the left side of the frame. Mechanically very good, the steel parts exhibit a brown gray patina while the brass shows as brownish yellow. The one piece walnut grips retain about 10% original varnish with expected dings and dents.Auction Info
