Arms, Armor & Militaria

Good. Fair bore heavily oxidized, dark and pitted with visible rifling. Barely with rich plum brown patina, moderately oxidized and with minute traces of dull blue in protected areas. Frame with a mottled gray and brown patina with some hints of bluish color. Cylinder with a mottled grayish brown patina and only traces of scene. All other markings remain legible. Metal with scattered light surface oxidation and some roughness as well as a large number of small dings and minor impact marks. Brass with some strong traces of silver plating. Mechanically functional, but ratchet wear results in an action that is not as smooth as it could be. Grip good to very good with some traces of varnish and some scattered bumps, dings and mars. Overall a solid Baby Dragoon.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
