The Baby Dragoon was the first pocket revolver manufactured at Colt's factory in Hartford, and approximately 15,000 were manufactured in 1847-50. This revolver was manufactured in 1847 and has the two-line New York address on top of the barrel, small "COLTS/PATENT" on the left of the frame, and "COLTS/PATENT/1812" on the cylinder. All serial numbers matching.

Good with the metal surfaces cleaned, legible barrel address, traces of the cylinder scene, minor pitting, copper colored patches, and replaced screws. The age shrunken grips are very good with a very pleasant yellow patina, minor age lines, and a small chip at the toe. Mechanically fine. A nice representative example of a scarce Colt revolver.
