Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is a 1/4 scale 1847 Colt Walker dragoon revolver made by the legendary Tom P. Weston of Mexico City, probably in the 1950’s. 4″ long overall with a 2 1/4″ part octagon part round barrel of .115 caliber. Blued steel finish except for the case colored hammer, yellow brass triggerguard, and yellow brass blade front sight. All markings are hand engraved. The top of the barrel has the proper barrel address “ADDRESS SAML COLT NEW YORK CITY”. The left side of the barrel lug, the left side of the frame, and the bottom of the gripstrap marked “A COMPANY NO 84”. The bottom of the barrel lug, frame, and triggerguard marked “84”. The left side of the barrel lug marked “US, 1847” in two lines just above the wedge screw. Checkered hammer spur, the hammer has both half and full cock, and has a crisp action when the trigger is pulled. Beautiful ivory grip with high relief carving on both sides. The left side showing a typical Weston Mexican eagle with snake & cactus, the right side with a liberty cap marked LIBERTAD. This is the first one I have ever seen with high relief carving on both sides. This piece is fully functional and shoot-able. These originally came with the percussion caps and bullets so they could be shot. This one has the bullets, but no caps. Complete with the original Weston mahogany hinged top casing with push button latch. The case interior French fit and lined in red leather. Accessories include a Colt marked blue steel three legged blued steel bullet mold, the caliber marking 44 on the left leg near the pivot, a Colt marked brass powder flask with bullet compartment and spring loaded spout, the combination screwdriver/mainspring vise/nipple wrench, and a nice quantity of cast lead conical bullets. There are two compartments with doors, one of which stores the bullets, the lid with a small ivory knob. The other compartment is empty and is where the percussion caps would have been stored. There is a piece of photographic paper in the lid with the Colt loading instructions. Excellent plus condition showing signs of just minor handling. Very rare and very seldom offered for sale. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
