EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Colt Third Model Dragoon Percussion Revolver, a remarkable piece of American history. With its serial number 12406, this firearm was crafted in Hartford, Connecticut around 1853 by the legendary Samuel Colt himself. The revolver's design reflects both artistry and functionality, featuring intricate heraldic decorations and a stunning coat of arms. The craftsmanship is truly exceptional, with gold accents beautifully contrasting against the steel and brass components. The wood walnut grip adds an elegant touch to this powerful weapon. As we admire this heritage art object, it transports us back to the 19th century America when firearms played a significant role in warfare. It is fascinating to think that Major Washington may have wielded such a revolver during his military campaigns. This connection to General George Washington adds another layer of historical significance to this already impressive piece. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this revolver serves as a testament to Samuel Colt's ingenuity and impact on American weaponry. Its presence reminds us of our country's rich heritage and the innovations that shaped our nation. As we gaze upon this print capturing every detail of the Colt Third Model Dragoon Percussion Revolver, we are reminded not only of its historical importance but also its artistic beauty—a true symbol of American craftsmanship at its finest.
