Description:
Collectors consider this a direct-line descendant from the original Civil War era .44 caliber, 1860 Colt. They feel these are more authentic than the 2nd and 3rd generation Colts, finished by Colt.
In 1853 Samuel Colt traveled overseas and licensed Belgian gun manufacturers to produce his revolvers. Then one hundred years later, these companies regrouped and began producing this six shooter with modern steel. The new pistols were marketed as 1960 New Model Army and were stamped Made in Belgium. At that time the upcoming centennial of the American Civil War, and no reproductions for re-enactors all pointed to an obvious need. There to answer that need were two important ingredients, original Colt equipment waiting silently in Belgium for nearly a century and a young man by the name of William B. Edwards. Edwards was one of the principals of Centennial Arms Corp. of Chicago. Edwards realized there was a ready market for a second issue of the Colt Army. Edwards entrusted Fabriques de Armes Unies de Li_ge in Belgium with the production of the New Army.
This 1860/1960 NEW MODEL ARMY is mechanically perfect, the finish is in MINT CONDITION. The bore is BRIGHT AND SHINY. The action is clean and crisp and it locks up tight. This gun is serial number (539) first year of production. This is the MILITARY MODEL. The frame, hammer, and loading leaver are color case hardened. This would be a very appropriate addition to any Colt collection or Civil War collection. After being around for 60 years it has and will only continue to increase in value.
