Manufactured in 1867. The revolver has a three screw frame and decorated with what author R.L. Wilson described as "Late Percussion Vine Scroll" engraving in "THE COLT ENGRAVING BOOK, VOLUME ONE". This engraving is distinguished by the absence of punch-dot background and was utilized by Colt from around 1861-1870. An "E" stamped either above or below the serial number on the barrel lug, frame, trigger guard and back strap denotes that the components were selected for engraving or special finish. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped: "-ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA-" in one line. "COLTS/PATENT is roll-stamped in a panel formed by engraved scrollwork on the left side of the frame. "44 CAL" is stamped on the left rear trigger guard bow. The rebated cylinder is roll-engraved with the Texas Navy battle scene and "COLTS PATENT NO./PATENTED SEPT 10th 1850". The serial number, "167678" is visible on the bottom of the barrel lug, frame and trigger guard. The back strap is original to the revolver but the serial number is not legible. The cylinder is mismatched and stamped with the partial serial number "0151". The revolver has a one-piece ivory grip relief carved with the Mexican Eagle and Serpent motif.

Good. The revolver shows moderate-heavy service wear. The blue and casehardened finish on the barrel, loading lever, frame, cylinder and hammer has aged to a deep brown patina. The metal surfaces have scattered pitting and small patches of oxidization. There is moderate flash pitting on the front and rear face of the cylinder and the sides of the hammer. A hole for a lanyard loop is drilled in the butt and the bottom of the back strap is worn. Traces of the silver-plated finish are visible in protected areas of the trigger guard. The barrel and frame markings are clear and the cylinder retains 80% or more of the naval scene. The engraving is reasonably sharp. The ivory grip is heavily discolored and has several hairline cracks in the sides and butt. The relief carved Eagle and Serpent shows moderate handling wear. This is a solid example of a scarce post-Civil War production factory-engraved Colt Model 1860 Army revolver.
