There were three standard variations of detachable shoulder stocks manufactured for 1,200 to 1,500 Third Model Dragoon revolvers. This particular shoulder stock is a Third Pattern or type which was standard on all four of the Colt percussion revolvers adapted for a shoulder stock (the Dragoon, 1860 Army and Model 1851 and 1861 Navy revolvers). This stock falls in the correct 17,000 range. These stocks were basically a military design and will usually bear U.S. military markings. This particular stock does not. Dragoon revolvers were meant to be issued to troops in consecutively serial numbered pairs and will bear two serial numbers. This stock is correctly marked on the buttplate tang and on the bottom of the yoke "17193/17194". The stock is oil finished walnut with iron mountings, crescent buttplate and sling swivel eye and ring mounted on the bottom tang.

Good as cleaned and refinished overall. The iron mountings have an artificial smooth gray patina. The revarnished wood is also good with some scattered minor scratches and dings.
