PORTION OF AUCTION PROCEEDS FROM BRADY’S ‘BABY DRAGOON’ TO BENEFIT SAF
Quote
BELLEVUE, WA – The auction of an 1849 Colt Baby Dragoon revolver that once belonged to the late James Brady will help the Second Amendment Foundation battle restrictive gun laws and educate the public about the right to keep and bear arms.
A portion of the auction proceeds will be donated to SAF by the historic handgun’s current owner, Jim Copley and GunAuction.com, said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb. The revolver is a rare piece of history, reportedly the last one of these particular guns manufactured by Colt, with the serial number of 14152.

Brady was shot and permanently disabled in the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan in March 1981. Brady’s wife, Sarah apparently turned this gun and some others in the house, to the family’s gardener.
