Description:

The Colt Model 1860 Army revolver was the main revolver of the Union Army during the Civil War. This revolver was manufactured in 1863 and has a German silver blade front sight, "-ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA-" on top of the barrel, "COLTS/PATENT" on the left side of the frame, shoulder stock cuts on the frame and heel, various single letter inspection marks, an "HWW" cartouche on the left side of the grip, a "JT" cartouche on the right, and matching serial numbers. It comes with a black leather holster with what appears to be a J. Davey & Co. maker's mark on the flap.

Rating Definition:

Very good with 20% original blue and casehardened finish, mostly mottled brown patina, some mild oxidation/pitting, attractive aged patina on the brass, and general mild overall wear appropriate for a Civil War revolver. The grip is fine and has legible cartouches, mild edge wear, minor chips at the toe, and light scratches and dings. Mechanically excellent. The holster is good and has moderate overall wear, including crackling and flaking.
