Manufactured in 1866. The top of the barrel has the one line New York address, the left side of the frame is marked "COLTS/PATENT", and the cylinder is roll engraved with the Texas naval battle scene, and marked "COLTS PATENT No 9560". The matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the barrel, frame, trigger guard and back strap. The partial serial number "9560" is marked on the cylinder pin and the cylinder. The wedge is un-numbered. Blade front and hammer notch rear sights, and fitted with a smooth varnished walnut grip.

Very fine. The revolver retains 50% of the bright original high polish blue finish with a smooth brown patina. Most of the cylinder scene is visible and there are a number of minor dents on the cylinder. The frame retains 50% bright original case colors, mainly in the protected areas with a smooth gray patina on the balance. The hammer retains much of the original case colors. The trigger guard has a pleasant dark mottled aged patina. The grips are also very fine with most of the original varnish remaining, and showing some wear on the lower edges and a few minor dents and handling marks. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
