This is a strong, very good condition U. S. issue .44 Caliber 1860 Colt Army.  It is early Civil War Issue manufactured in 1862.  The gun is complete with very good markings, has all matching serial numbers with the exception of the wedge.  The wedge is an original Colt wedge which is unnumbered.  The barrel address is nice and clear as are the frame markings and the majority of the cylinder scene is distinctly present.  The back of the cylinder retains remnants of the safety pins and the grips have their original oil finish with good legible cartouches on either side.  The military sub-inspection marks are present on both sides of the barrel, on the cylinder, backstrap, trigger guard and grips.  The grips are clearly numbered to the gun in India ink beneath the backstrap.  The gun is mechanically excellent, tight and solid as a rock.  It has moderate wear and no major disfiguring of any kind.  A solid, honest, very good condition U. S. Issue Colt Army.   SOLD!!
