This percussion sidearm is an early four-screw Civil War Colt Model 1860 Army revolver in nice condition. The Colt Army revolver was the major sidearm in use by U.S. troops during the Civil War with over 127,000 revolvers acquired by the Union government during the conflict.

This early 1862 production Colt sidearm has a brass trigger guard, steel backstrap. Matching serial numbers, 28792, on all parts except for a replacement wedge.

This is a .44 caliber, four-screw model with a 6-shot rebated cylinder and an 8” long round barrel. Marked "ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA" on top of barrel. Bore is clear with light oxidation within strong rifling. Loading lever operates as it should.

Cylinder exhibits some traces of the rolled naval engagement scene. All original nipples are good; all safety pin hammered down. Clear serial number and patent stamps. The frame is marked “COLTS / PATENT” on the left side. Mechanics work well, with somewhat light spring action. This martial sidearm is equipped with recoil shield cutouts on the frame and a small notch in the butt strap originally designed to attach a shoulder stock.

Grips are original one-piece walnut in good condition with minor wear. No government cartouches are visible.

All gun metal has nice dark gray tone with no signs of pitting. Light wear overall with a few small dings, but in nice condition. [jet] [ph:L]
