Perkussionscolt drittes Dragonermodell Revolver, Seriennummer: 12406

Manufacturer Samuel Colt American
ca. 1853
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 371
Colt-Revolver standen bei Soldaten und Pionieren hoch im Kurs. Luxuriöse Schusswaffen von Colt, so wie diese, bestanden aus Standard-Fabrikmodellen, die durch das Hinzufügen prächtiger Verzierungen in Ausstellungsstücke verwandelt wurden. Die Graveure der Colt-Fabrik in Hartford, Connecticut, von denen viele deutsche Auswanderer waren, setzten den Standard für die Verzierung amerikanischer Schusswaffen in den 1850er und 60er Jahren. Der Revolver des Museums ist einer von nur einer Handvoll Exemplaren mit üppigen Goldintarsien, die ihn zu einem der schönsten existierenden Colts machen. Er war Teil eines Paares, dessen andere Hälfte Colt 1854 Zar Nikolaus I. von Russland schenkte, und die sich nun in der Sankt Petersburger Eremitage befindet.
