Small enhancements separate the four Dragoon models. The Whitneyville model is made like the original Walker but uses a dragoon barrel and cylinder. The 1st model uses oval cylinder bolt slots. The 2nd model uses squared cylinder bolt slots and the 3rd model incorporates a round trigger guard. FinishesTechnicalParts and Schematics 000: STANDARD A00: OLD WEST ANTIQUE PATINA FINISH REV.
