US MODEL 1860 COLT ARMY REVOLVER

$2,500.00 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: G3128

The 1860 Colt Army is a .44 caliber, 6 shot cylinder with an 8 inch round barrel and an attached loading lever. Serial numbers began at number 1 and ended around number 200500. The barrel markings are ADDRESS SAML COLT. HARTFORD CT or ADDRESS COL SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA and the left side of the frame is marked COLTS / PATENT. The cylinder also had a roll engraved scene of a battle between the Texas Navy and the Mexican Navy and is also marked COLTS PATENT and the serial number (135914).

The grip straps were made of steel and blued. The grips were one piece of varnished walnut with a cartouche on each side. Colt stamped the serial number on the frame, trigger guard, backstrap, and barrel lug. The last four or five numbers are stamped on the cylinder, wedge, cylinder pin and written in the backstrap cut of the grips.  This pistol was manufactured in between 1863 and 1864. All metal is a gunmetal gray patina. All numbers are matching except the wedge. Both cartouches are light but are visible as well as the cylinder scene. Very nice example of the most widely used sidearm of the Civil War.
