This Colt Dragoon Third Model was shipped near the end of the production run and at the very start of the Civil War, April 1861.
Most Dragoons would have a 7 1/2-inch barrel and see hard use in pommel holsters. In contrast, this cased Dragoon enjoys the rare 8-inch barrel and today remains a benchmark example of how it looked when it left the factory over 160 years ago. Such condition and rarity made for a bidding battle and an outstanding result at auction!
