Look for the gold '55 Chevy road sign! ~Trades and offers are always considered~ M1860 Colt Army Percussion US Military Revolver Dug Relic from The Battle of Raymond, Mississippi, Attributed to the 4th Independent Company Ohio Cavalry with Provenance, .44 Cal, mfg. 1862. This revolver was discovered while digging the foundation for the new gymnasium at Hinds Jr. College in Raymond, Mississippi, during the 1960's/70's. The campus is located on a portion of the original battlefield from the Battle of Raymond which took place on May 12th, 1863 as part of the Vicksburg Campaign. The revolver was given to the athletic director of the campus who in return passed it down to his nephew. It was sold to a collector in 2009 who did further research on the units engaged at the battle and attributed this revolver as likely being used by the 4th Independent Company Ohio Cavalry. The pistol remains in relic condition with a rusted dark gray/brown appearance. The original wood grips show heavy deterioration to the left side with a chip on the right front toe. The serial number "36618" is clearly visible on the frame and triggegruard and partially visible on the barrel and backstrap. The cylinder number and barrel address are illegible while "COLTS PATENT" can still be read on the frame. It is an early three-screw frame cut for a shoulder stock. The triggerguard seems to have been hit or otherwise damaged, perhaps by a bullet, which torn away a portion of the bow with the trigger. The loading lever and wedge are missing. Original hammer, loading lever catch, and blade front sight. The hammer and cylinder move freely (action not working). All nipples are surprisingly clean intact originals. The bore is very dirty with traces of rifling remaining. Pictured provenance included. A scarce documented example of a Colt Army lost in battle!
