This is a solid representative example of a Colt Model 1860 Army that was the primary revolver used by the Union during the Civil War. This example was manufactured in 1863. Various single letter inspection marks, and boxed script inspection cartouches stamped on both sides of the grip. Replacement wedge numbered "1803." Matching full or partial serial numbers appear on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, back strap, cylinder and arbor pin.

Very good plus displaying a pleasing brown patina associated with a militia sidearm that saw service in the field with slight traces of original blue and casehardened finishes in the protected areas. The grip is also very good with high edge wear, some ding and scratches and legible cartouches. Mechanically excellent.
