This is for sale quite cheap but it looks strange, like a Frankenstein parts revolver.

Looks like an old ASM made Colt 1849 Pocket in .31 cal. with round barrel to me.

Barrel doesn't line up with the cylinder.

Looks like a cobbled together POS.

Rammer doesn't line up with cylinder either.

AVOID!!!

I have become somewhat of an aficionado of the Colt .31 since I got mine.
Never seen a round barrel. Although this is from Australia so who knows what they making down there. For 100 more just get a new Uberti and you’ll know what you are getting. I got an authentic 1848 Uberti on GB for $240.
Also note it must go through FFL dealer which is a red flag and no go for me.

Navy Arms made a Baby Dragoon in .31 caliber but it had a square back trigger guard..

Would like to see the Navy Arms markings on the barrel.

I'd be worried too about the barrel and cylinder not marrying up. When you do fire it, let me know, if I see any bits on my travels I'll bring them back.

Thank you for your input gentlemen. I didn’t have any plans to buy it because the photos show too many weirdnesses; it’s in poor condition. I had never seen this model before and it’s a shame its a P.O.S.

It would be interesting to take it apart and see what's going on with it. Sure is crooked. It would be worth $50 or so just to play with it.

Here is a picture of the Navy Arms baby dragoon.

Nobody down here makes those; and if they did then they’d be much better

Here is a picture of the Navy Arms baby dragoon. Funny thing is the barrel in the picture does not line up with the cylinder just like the one in the OP's picture.

Here a close up of mine, the cone sits higher than cylinder, but the barrel aligns with chamber. Same as OP picture.

Baby dragoons weren’t made with round barrels

 

[Hawk54]

No point in specualtion without good pictures. May not even be Navy Arms marked.

I would love to have an Uberti like that baby dragoon in the catalog photo. Too bad they're only 4inch barrels

Uh, they pocket pistols as in fit in your pocket. Baby Dragoon. Get it?
You could get a Buntline, and cut a hole in your pocket.

The misalignments in that picture make you wonder how in blazes they got it together.

We may never know. That is not even a cal. 31 barrel. Looks to be as big as a 44. somebody had to really fake this up to get it together. Worth only as much as the not cobbled together parts. somebody is really going to get taken with this.
