$1,595.00 ON HOLD

Quantity Available: 1

Item Code: 1245-02

A Civil War Colt Model 1860 Army revolver in good, but well-used condition. In production from 1860 through 1873, these handguns were the successor to the Colt Third Model Dragoon pistols. The Model 1860 Army was the major sidearm in use by U.S. troops during the Civil War with over 127,000 Colt revolvers acquired by the Union government during the conflict.

This revolver is a .44 caliber, three-screw model with a 6-shot rebated cylinder and an 8” long barrel. All matching serial numbers (116133) on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, back strap, and cylinder; not on the wedge. Serial number dates the manufacture to mid-1863.

Sidearm is equipped with recoil shield cutouts on the frame and the small notch on the base of the butt plate. Mechanics are good and the cylinder indexes properly. Barrel address, “ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA” shows only light wear amid some small patches of fine pitting. Rolled cylinder scene is gone. Patent date and serial number are just lightly visible. The “COLTS / PATENT” mark on the left side is fine. Original nipples are in good condition; safety pins worn down. Brass trigger guard has a mellow golden patina with small “D” inspection stamp.

Gunmetal is dark gray/brown overall. Barrel shows numerous very small dings. There is some light holster wear on the muzzle. Grips are original one-piece walnut in fair condition. There are no cartouches visible and typical signs of use. Barrel and loading lever exhibit a slight wobble.

This is a classic, war-time production “Colt Army” revolver.   [jet][ph:L]
