This Bicentennial model features the factory-engraved buttstrap inscription "We the People 1776–1976," signifying 1976 production for the U.S. Bicentennial. The revolver is part of the Virginian Dragoon series and is designated as a limited edition.
The build combines a color case-hardened steel frame with a blued steel barrel and fluted cylinder. It wears smooth walnut grip panels, while the grip frame and ejector-rod housing carry a brass/gold-toned finish that contrasts cleanly with the barrel and frame.
Configured as a large-frame, single-action-only revolver, it is chambered in .44 Rem Magnum with a 6-inch barrel length (confirmed by the factory case label). It uses a six-shot fluted cylinder with two red index dots. Sights are adjustable iron: a ramped, serrated front blade paired with an adjustable rear notch.
Factory markings include "VIRGINIAN DRAGOON CAL. 44 MAGNUM" and "INTERARMS ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA, U.S.A." on the barrel. The frame is marked with patent "3,803,764 – Apr. 16, 1974" alongside a starburst symbol and shows the model’s distinctive cast slot below the topstrap. Made in the USA, this example is cataloged under mfg part number 3802.
