I have just bought (for $25.00) a pistol that I think is a 1847 Colt Dragoon. Yes I know they were made in 1848, but this one says US 1847 on the barrel. The serial number is E56535 and all of the numbers match. It has been personalized with the name W.I. Ormbsy on the cylinder under the engraving. As I am a new poster I hope I have not broken any rules. Does anyone have any information on this gun?
During at least the late 90's and into the new century Pietta had a run of poor quality control and 'soft' internal parts (the parts problem started some time in the 80's, I think). They have corrected both and the current Pietta product is nearly on a par with Uberti.
