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.

Sword arrived today. Fabulous. This is an excellent example of a fighting sword of its period, and a real gem. The 1828 Pattern is such a gorgeous sword, and this is a fine example. Even my bride is impressed and she doesn’t really get swords.
