CIVIL WAR Antique Colt 1860 Army 4-Screw Revolver
Early, Made First Year of Civil War 1861
Here we present an antique Colt Model 1860 Army Percussion Revolver in the early 4-screw configuration, made in 1861 in Hartford, Connecticut. The Model 1860 was the single most used pistol of the American Civil War. Over 200,000 were made from 1860 to 1873, and 156,000 were made by the end of the war in 1865. The 1860 Army was Samuel Colt’s finest achievement to that point, having finally developed a large caliber revolver that weighed about 2 lbs. 10 oz. to the famous Dragoon’s 4 lbs. 4 oz., and was adopted en masse by the U.S. government with huge contracts. The revolver was well balanced in hand, but had a long enough barrel to be effective when utilized as a carbine with the attachable shoulder stock. This revolver represented unprecedented firepower from a handgun in the field at the time, and was especially suited to Cavalry. The Confederacy, lacking in manufacturing capabilities though they were, managed to produce limited numbers of copies, and battlefield pickups of the 1860 Army were highly coveted. The 1860 Army went on to serve the U.S. military even after the Civil War and into the Indian Wars, until production of Colt’s 1873 Single Action Army created new waves in the revolver market, and again achieved great success in the military and commercial markets.
This is an example of the early 4-screw frame 1860 Army Revolver. This feature is found on those numbered under 50000 and was part of a method to attache a shoulder stock. The top of the barrel is marked “ADDRESS COL. SAM COLT NEW YORK, US AMERICA”. The left side of the frame is marked “COLT’S PATENT”.
The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces are quite worn and show traces of old blue finish which was likely reapplied at some point. The markings are legible. The serial numbers all match, including the barrel wedge. The bore is dark with strong rifling. The walnut grips are in good shape. The action on this revolver is excellent.
