Description

The M1860 Army Revolver is considered by many to be the most beautiful revolver that Colt ever produced. It's graceful lines and near perfect balance make it as fun to behold as it is to shoot. It is the quintessential Civil War revolver as nearly 130,000 were purchased by the US Government during the war; making it the most widely used revolver of the conflict. It is safe to say that no Civil War weapons collection is complete without an M1860.

This particular revolver is a rare example of very early production M1860. The serial number data on this pistol shows that it was produced in 1862; during the early days of the Civil War. This revolver also features numerous U.S. subinspector stamps; indicating that this was one of the very first 1860 Armies to find its way into the hands of the Union Army. Given these features, it is extremely likely that this pistol was used in combat during the Civil War. There are few Civil War guns that offer as much circumstanstial combat-use evidence as this one; short of being I.D'd to a particular soldier.

This steel components of this Colt are in excellent shape. Much of the original finish remains, but most hast turned plum from years of storage with vibrant bluing still visible in the protected areas. The lock up is nice and tight with no wobble in the cylinder. The action is very smooth. The hammer has a positive half and full cock.

The barrel is in great condition. The Colt address stamp is intact and fully legible. There is no wobble between the frame and the barrel. The bore is in very good shape with good rifling and some minor "frost pitting" particularly in the grooves. The cylinder matches the barrel in condition and roughly 90% of the cylinder scene is legible. Each one of the chambers is crisp and clean with no pitting or erosion.

The grips, trigger guard, back strap, wedge, and loading lever are all original and all matching.

This pistol is sure to be the crown jewel of anyone's collection!
