I wonder if it has been really documented, as being a original Colt Factory product? If something like this just turns up. Without a substantiated provenance, over the last 160+ years. It's originality in my mind, would be questionable.
I always figured that Sam Colt learned his lesson, with the Walkers of the 1840's. Big hulking revolvers, just weren't that practical. Even the Dragoons, went by the wayside by the late 1850's. The 1851 Navy and 1860 Army were minuscule. Compared to the Dragoons, let alone the Walker and than this thing.
On the other hand. It might have been made, as a prototype for the export trade? Their is a country in the Balkans, by the name of Montenegro. Whose men, were required to own big hulking revolvers. The bigger the better. This would have been something. Which would have been the biggest baddest revolver in the whole country. Probably couldn't have afforded though?0 -

It is an original shotgun that had the stock tang reworked to a handgun grip. Not done at the factory though.0 -
