The Colt Model 1860 Army was the primary revolver used by the Union during the Civil War. This attractive example was manufactured in 1863. Various single letter inspection marks, and "JT" (John Taylor) inspection cartouches stamped on both sides of the grip. Full and partial matching serial number "88925" marked on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, butt, wedge, cylinder, cylinder pin and handwritten in black ink inside the grip mortise.

Very fine, retains 50% plus original blue finish with smooth brown patina on the balance, 80% vivid original case colors, a few small patches of minor pitting, a sharp cylinder scene and defined markings and edges in the metal overall. Grip is fine as re-oiled with general light wear, scattered dings, and lightly worn but visible cartouches. Mechanically excellent.
