Civil War Colt Army 1860

A genuine .44 caliber Colt Army Model 1860, the most widely used revolver by Union forces during the American Civil War. This percussion six-shooter is fully matching with visible serial numbers dating its manufacture to 1863, the height of the conflict. The metal surfaces display a pleasing gray patina, while the walnut grips remain intact with signs of honest wear from field use. The action is crisp and mechanically functional, a rare quality for a firearm of this vintage. A tangible piece of American history that likely saw action in some of the war's pivotal battles.
