colt dragoon info

[doug60]

I recently bought a 3rd model dragoon but it has no manufacturers name anywhere on it.Cylinder has USMR on it ,3leaf folding sights, side screws for the shoulder stock,and the nipples that came with it are too small,ie:no where near the hammer,thread size too small. Im wondering if the Uberti cylinder from Dixie would work.Im going to order dragoon nipples also and wouldnt mind a spare cylinder but does anyone have any idea who made this thing?Only other thing on it is serial no.DAC408

Look for "proof marks" as a way of identifying makers, http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/236956/
