柯尔特龙骑兵三型击发左轮手枪，序号：12406

Manufacturer Samuel Colt American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 371

柯尔特左轮手枪深受士兵和拓荒者的青睐。图中这样的豪华柯尔特火器是在标准工厂型号的基础上镌刻华丽的装饰，使其摇身一变成为艺术精品。柯尔特工厂位于康涅狄格州的哈特福特市，其中许多定制雕刻师都是德国新移民，他们的作品为1850年代和1860年代美国火器装饰树立了标杆。大都会博物馆收藏的这支左轮手枪是极少数有奢华黄金镶嵌的典范，也是现存最精美的柯尔特左轮手枪之一。这支手枪原有一对，另一支由柯尔特在1854年赠送给俄国沙皇尼古拉一世，目前保存在圣彼得堡的国立艾尔米塔什博物馆里。
