This civilian Colt Model 1860 Army revolver was manufactured in 1868. The revolver has a civilian type three-screw frame with no stock cut-outs in the recoil shield. The barrel, cylinder, trigger guard, and back strap have a high polish blue finish. The loading lever, hammer, and frame are color casehardened. The brass trigger guard is plated in silver. The cylinder is roll-engraved with the Naval Battle of Campeche scene and "COLT'S PATENT." The top of the barrel is roll-stamped with the legend "-ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA-" in a single line. "COLTS/PATENT" is stamped in two lines on the left side of the frame. "44 CAL" is stamped on the left shoulder of the trigger guard. Matching serial numbers marked on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, butt, cylinder, cylinder pin, and wedge. With a tooled leather slim Jim holster.

Very good plus. The barrel retains 30% plus bright original high polish blue finish with a smooth brown-gray patina on the balance. The cylinder retains traces of original blue finish, and the naval scene is crisp overall. 40% original blue finish remains on the back strap. The trigger guard retains 20% original silver plating in and around the protected areas. The frame, hammer, and loading lever retain 30% original case colors. The grip is very fine showing some minor handling marks and retaining most of the original varnish. Holster is very good. Mechanically excellent.
