Description:

The Model 1860 Army was the primary revolver used by the Union during the Civil War. It was manufactured in 1862 and features standard sights and markings. The serial number on the frame is overstruck. The grip has the matching serial number written in the back strap inlet and stamped on the various components. Includes a U.S. Pattern 1863 black leather holster marked "U.S." on the flap.

Rating Definition:

Fine with 30% original case colors, similar amount of original blue finish on the barrel. Concentrated patches of original blue on the top of the back strap and butt, significant niter blue on many of the small parts, attractive natural aged patina on the brass, gray and brown patina on most of the balance, some minor oxidation and slight pitting, and general minor marks and scratches. The grip is very good and has mild scuffs and dings, mild edge wear, and lightly worn but legible cartouches. Mechanically excellent. The holster is good with mild overall wear, a section of period repaired stitching, and minor crackling.
