This F.LLI Pietta revolver was specially designed for America Remembers to commemorate one of the most remarkable historical figures -Geronimo. The famous Apache leader was known for his boldness, strength, and resilience in the face of danger, much like the Dance Dragoon revolver he has been famously pictured with. This is why America Remembers has chosen to commemorate this historical figure of his era with this historic revolver, which he was famously photographed late in his life: the Dance Dragoon revolver in .44 caliber.
The Geronimo Tribute Dragoon is a stunning masterpiece featuring this amazing Apache warrior whose very name became a war cry…Geronimo! Only 300 Geronimo Tribute Dragoons were ever created and were available exclusively through America Remembers.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Many leaders in Native American history have fought to defend the traditions and existence of their people. Legendary men, such as Crazy Horse, Red Cloud, and Sitting Bull, have become synonymous with America’s image of the brave Indian warrior. But there is one warrior in particular who has filled our collective imagination with his fierce, uncompromising spirit – Geronimo.

Only 300 Geronimo Tribute Dragoons were ever created and were available exclusively through America Remembers. Since each revolver is hand-engraved. Both sides of the Tribute feature high-relief, gold-plated representations, including a faithful bust of Geronimo on the left based on a well-known portrait of the legendary Apache warrior. Prominently featured on the cylinder, frame, and barrel are hand-engraved recreations of Indian motifs, including Plains Indian warriors, animals, and Apache art.

They were excited to offer the first-ever Dance Dragoon commemorative recreation for this strictly limited edition. This working black powder firearm is specially built for America Remembers by master craftsmen using parts from F.lli Pietta. Every stunning Tribute has a skillfully polished antique coin nickel finish, is hand-engraved, using the traditional, time-honored hammer-and-chisel method, in a Plains Indian motif, and is embellished with solid 18-karat gold busts of Geronimo. This revolver is true to the original Dance Dragoon created during the Civil War as a Texas copy combining features of the 2nd Model Colt Dragoon and 1851 Colt Navy. Both revolvers are renowned for their strength and reliability, the only difference between the two is that the Dance Dragoon has no cylinder scene and does not have a recoil shield.
They were also very excited to be working with renowned author Dennis Adler on this issue. The author of Colt Single Action – From Patersons to Peacemakers and Guns of the American West, recognized worldwide as a leading authority on antique firearms. Thanks to Dennis’s invaluable support and assistance in researching the design motifs for this gun, they were able to offer this stunning and unique Dance Dragoon commemorative firearm.
