Merry Christmas, everyone!
As often happens during the holidays, a new firearm has found its way under a tree. This cap and ball blackpowder was purchased used from a gun show. The purchase was made with few detailed questions of the seller about the details of its history.
This is where you guys come in. What can you add to (or, correct) the conversation? My folks would like to know more about this pistol. The Colt serial number sites that have been found so far are not very helpful. I believe this is a 3rd Dragoon, Colt, .44 calibre, 1861? I don't now about the series. I like the engraving on the cylinder.
Thanks!
