Where were these when I needed them over the years?  They are absolutely authentic, brand new original Colt production percussion hammers for 2nd & 3rd Model Dragoons.  They have all their original case colors and have never been mounted on a gun.  Now you may think I have lost my mind, but hold on and I'll explain.  These are original parts hammers manufactured by Colt.  For all the guns made under contract for the U.S. Government, Dragoons, Navies, Armies, etc., Colt provided crates of replacement parts as a part of the contract.  For Navies, Armies and Dragoons, every thousand guns or so was accompanied, by contract, with a crate of un-numbered replacement parts for every component of the gun.  U. S. Ordnance used these parts to maintain the shootability of these guns.  After the Civil War, most of these parts wound up at Bannerman's in New York.  A firm by the name of Stokes-Kirk bought most of these parts off Bannerman's Island and sold them into the surplus market.  As late as the 1960's, whole guns were being assembled from un-numbered parts.  The un-numbered, or two digit military Navies that were assembled are referred to today as the "Stokes-Kirk" Navy.  That is where these hammers more than likely came from.  From Colt to the U.S. Government, to Bannerman, and finally to Stokes-Kirk.  They have been in somebody's rat-hole for a very long time.  They are new and they are beautiful.  SOLD!!
