Description:
Rare Black Powder Series USFA Colt .44 Percussion Model 1860 Army Revolver in its original box w/paperwork and extra cylinder. These were the best replicas ever made and were assembled in the original Hartford, Connecticut Colt Factory back in the mid 1990's to early 2000's. From what I've been able to find out, there were no more than 500 of these made by United States Firearms. You can tell right away this was the product of some really skilled craftsmen who went to great lengths to duplicate the fit, finish, and feel of the original Colt Army Model. The story on this particular USFA is that it was sent by the factory to a gun writer for a magazine article along with a USFA 1851 Navy and 3rd Model Dragoon. Sorry, I don't know which publication or exactly when this article came out. All three were test-fired for the article and eventually returned to the factory but the bores were not cleaned resulting in some light pitting. This one looks to be almost new on the outside but the bore, while fired only once and is still in Good shootable condition, it has some light scattered corrosion from not being cleaned after the article was written. The frame, hammer, and loading lever have the best case colors I've ever seen on a replica. The barrel, cylinder, and backstrap are I believe what they call Old Armoury Blue and very similar to Colt's original charcoal/heat blue. The action is perfect. Grips have the best wood to metal fit I've seen on a replica...as good or better than the originals. Comes with an extra USFA cylinder, manual, broadside poster, and in its original black box. This 1860 is a piece of art and even better than a 2nd or 3rd Gen Reproduction Colt.
