Title 31-calibre Baby Dragoon Colt with holster
Nationality American
Period c 1850
Sold

Rare example of early pattern. Note round cylinder stops. 90%+ engraving survives on cylinder scene. Much original varnish to grips. Silver plate finish to back strap and trigger guard appears to be original. Action in reasonable shape for age. Holster with minor wear and tear to stitching and surface.

NB: The serial number on the cylinder is a mismatch (but still within the 1,000 range) with the serial numbers of the rest of the weapon which latter are all matching.

testimonials

My order arrived this morning, thanks for the prompt delivery.

Two excellent original pieces, I must say.

Buckle is in minty condition retaining so much detail esp plummage on eagle's neck and chest, like to see those 'creases' on the legs also... a beautiful example of an early O&C buckle.

Belt is very interesting, rather thin, CROUPON stamped and also behind the tongue...maybe Allegmeine but no SS markings as you state. Beautiful piece none the less.

Thanks for a speedy transaction Chris, I am very happy with my purchase :)
