    Centaur Belgian revolver???

    Lonesome Dove Walker

    Visited that Lonesome Dove exhibition in 2012. At that time Gus McCrae's ASM Walker was still labeled as a Dragoon ... like in Larry McMurtry's book. Long Johns Wolf

    1851 Navy Gregorelli and Uberti

    The 79 on the breech side of the cylinder might be the last digits of the serial number. Could you post a pic of your pistol, please? Because I like to get an idea if and when GU got into making the 1862 Police and the 1849 Pocket. Thanks. Long Johns Wolf

    Armi san Marco Colt 1848 Dragoon 2nd Model

    Stumbled over this Dragoon together with its little Baby Dragoon brother. Serial number of the .44 is three digits, i.e. #69X but no date code anywhere on the pistol, even after complete disassembly. Any toughts when it was made? And have you ever seen a Dragoon - original or repliction - where...
