The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver with an 8 inch barrel in .44 caliber, blue and plated finishes and "wood" stocks when shipped to Colt's New York City office on September 3, 1862, as part of a 5 gun shipment. Factory records for Model 1860s are rarely found. This civilian marketed Model 1860 has a four screw frame cut for a shoulder stock, the one-line New York barrel address, "COLTS/PATENT" frame marking, naval cylinder scene and "44 CAL" on the left trigger guard shoulder. A number "2" is stamped above or below the matching serial numbers on the barrel, frame, trigger guard and back strap. The cylinder, wedge and arbor pin are also numbered to the gun.
