Colt Dragoon Revolver
THE THIRD MODEL, SCALE 1:2
These revolvers were produced between 1851 and 1861, with a total of 10500 pieces made. In 1858, Samuel Colt presented three richly gilded and engraved Third Model Dragoons to Alexander II (Emperor of Russia) and Grand Dukes Michael and Konstantin. Those gift weapons are now exhibited in the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. A miniature bullet mold, a powder container, a box with a lid, and a wax replica of a knife in a leather sheath complete the replica model.
