Latest acquisition, Nimschke Special Edition engraved, gold plated, and ivory stocked, one of fifty, C series, 2nd Generation Colt, 3rd Model Dragoon.
It's silver. I paid too much from an auctinon: but it fits in my 2nd gen collection very well.A local gun shop once had one of those on consignment.
They let me take some photos of it at the time, but I can't locate the post.
It's a beautiful piece.
Did you purchase it at auction or from a private seller?
Thinking back, IIRC the gun that I saw looked like it had tarnish on some of the engraved areas that might indicate that it was silver plated maybe?
Do you think that it is?
More like rotating stock than selling off ? Always adding 2nd Gens to collection. Unfortunately that means lesser models feed the the inventorySo, this is why you were selling off your accumulation? If so, good choice!

Sorry Kevin, they have already been soldPersonally, I am still looking for a pair of 1861s with holly stocks. That is, if you know of anyone selling such a pair.
