Where have I been?

[rlbrutke]

Good day, members. I just purchased another wonderful piece of history for my collection. I was finally able to acquire a 1st Model 1848 Colt Dragoon, that has an SN that Colt says was Mfg in 1849. Now the search is on to see if there is any way to trace where it's been. Pre Civil War Conflicts, Civil War, Union side, Confederate side, regions, states, battles…anything?

If anyone can point me in a direction, I'd appreciate the info in my search to find out where this Dragoon has been. SN 6276. "U.S." Stamp, with an "A". Roll Stamp is pretty much non-existent.
Thanks,
Lonnie

It's been a dream of mine to one day own one or several pieces of black powder history, that's a beauty. Wish I had something to aid you on your quest, but best of luck!

Too bad these old guns can't talk. But they might scare us to death.

I'd still be all ears!

You might want to contact Charles Pate as he is currently working on a new book on Colt Dragoons. He would probably be interested in photos and info to include in his research. [email protected]

You will find plenty of dealers who tell you that if you hold an item up your ear, you might hear it whistling Dixie.
Same thing works with large sea shells - hold the up to your ear, and you might hear the surf waves rolling in.
