Colt 2nd Model Dragoon .44 Cal SN: 8486
A Rare Early U.S. 2nd Model Colt Dragoon Revolver Serial Number 8486 For 1850, 2700 manufactured. 7 1/2" barrel, .44 caliber. The Colt Second Model Dragoon began with serial number 8000. All Colt “4 pounders” are desirable as they saw hard service on the western frontier and are the quintessential heavy Dragoon revolver. Serial 8486 has been used hard, but still retains the “Address Saml Colt New York” address. (Faint) Strong U.S. on frame. Grips are original and have the inspector cartouches. All numbers match including the cylinder, wedge, barrel, frame. triggerguard, back strap and loading lever. Action works well. Cylinder scene, and "Colts Patent" are faint. Small silver colored area on backstrap behind hammer, possibly a repair, shows as smooth & blended. A presentable example of this very desirable “Big Colt”. Condition is NRA Very Good. Antique Firearm.
