Fuff and gentleman, thanks for answering some of my questions
No, actually just the opposite. He called everyone else gentlemen, and excluded Old Fuff from the term.
Which is even worse.

Were Original Walker Muzzles In The White.
The muzzle flat on my Colt Signature Series Walker is in the white. Is any
information available indicating whether original Walker muzzles were left in
the white, not withstanding the cylinders? As an afterthought, do any of the
replica manufacturers produce their Walkers with in the white muzzles or,
unlike the Colt replica, are all muzzles blued?
In short, they looked like a 1st Model Dragoon, and for all practical purposes that's what they were.
the final 100 were distributed to dignitaries or sold on the open market.
Wouldn't it more (pedantic, to be certain) accurate to say they were essentially Whitneyville Dragoons? They had the Walker gripframe, correct?
Since they weren't .mil models, is it known if they had silvered TGs, like Colt did later?
No, all 1,100 Walkers had plain, unplated trigger guards and backstraps.
Early backstraps seem to have been tinned (tin plated) but soon changed to silver on commercial revolvers. those bought by the Army continued to have blued backstraps.
I thought all the Walkers had iron/steel backstraps?
Brass or iron backstraps? Are there Dragoons (1st model onwards) with iron backstraps? Only reason I ask is that all the replicas have brass, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
SO may I ask? What exactly is the Whitneyville Dragoon that Uberti selss? Is it based off of a true Colt dragoon or just something trumped up for marketing?
Do any of the origanal "saddle holsters" exist for the Walker?
Old Fuff, send it to my email below and I will post it Thanks, Craig
I am thinking it can be placed over the hammer V-spring during disassembly to hold it down.
