COLT
MODEL 1860 |





An eight inch barrel, Colt Fluted Army Revolver manufactured around 1861. It has moderate wear with good barrel, frame and cylinder markings. It has all matching numbers to include barrel, frame, trigger guard, back strap, grips, cylinder, cylinder pin and barrel wedge. The patent date stamps in the flute are visible. In this range, the cylinders are numbered on the back of the cylinder. You have to look close, but the numbers are present on the back of the cylinder and matching. The barrel to frame fit is tight and the action on the gun is crisp. It has a decent rifled bore and all the nipples are intact. I don't have the time, but it might be prudent for somebody to get a factory letter on this gun. It is certainly from a historic time frame and it would be very interesting to see where it was shipped. SOLD!!
