Included in this lot is a beautiful example of a Colt Black Powder Series .32 caliber revolver. This example is a Baby Dragoon Model with a 4” barrel chambered in .31 caliber. It comes complete with the original serial numbered box, all of the manuals and paperwork, foam inserts, and factory trigger guard hang tag. It is unfired and in like-new condition. These Colt revolvers were nearly identical to the famous originals. The Colt 1848 Baby Dragoon was originally made from 1847 to 1850, with a total of approximately 15,000 manufactured. It was a 5-shot revolver in .31 caliber and was essentially a scaled down model of the Dragoon. It was intended as a pocket pistol, and to cut down on the weight of the pistol the loading lever assembly was deleted from the design. It was offered in a 3", 4", 5", and 6" inch barrel and was popular with Pony Express and Wells Fargo riders. This 2nd Generation example is an attractive pocket pistol. The factory blue finish rates 98% with no finish wear. The case colored frame and trigger are beautiful, showing nice bright colors. The silver plated trigger guard and grip frame are in excellent shape. The varnished Walnut one piece grip is in great shape overall and is perfectly fit to the gun. The wood shows some minor wear to the finish. Everything on this Baby Dragoon works 100% like the day it left the factory and the action is perfectly "in time". The original box shows some age but has an intact serial numbered factory end-label and all of the paperwork and inserts are inside. Serial Number: 16436. Black powder firearms do not require a FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
