Description:
The United States Society of Arms & Armour and America Remembers, in cooperation with the Civil War Preservation Trust, have commissioned the incomparable artisans of Uberti, whose master craftsmen have painstakingly reproduced the greatest firearms for more than four decades, to produce this exacting detailed reproduction of the Colt Model 1860 Army Revolver, the trusted and treasured sidearm of the men in blue and gray alike. Although surprisingly light at only 2 pounds, 10 ounces, the classic Model 1860 Army nevertheless packed a powerful .44 caliber wallop. This unique combination of easy handling and heavy firepower made it the most desired weapon of its day. Certainly, the Model 1860 Army was appreciated by the men who carried it in Gettysburg. They knew that a dependable weapon would make the difference between victory or defeat in perhaps the most important battle they would ever fight.
I know you’ll be especially impressed with the way “Pickett’s Charge” is recreated on the Gettysburg 1863 Revolver with a breathtaking 24-karat gold panorama that wraps completely around the cylinder. The absolute accuracy of this illustration, down to the smallest detail, must be seen to be believed. Complementing this illustration are gold inscriptions on each side of the barrel. On the left side are the words, “Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, July 1863,” and on the right, an excerpt from Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, “We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.” For me, these gold decorations merely highlight the already impressive beauty of the classic Colt Model 1860 Army. Featuring a frame and 8-inch barrel finished in handsome blued steel and grips of the finest select walnut, the Gettysburg 1863 is a masterpiece of American design.
With care and attention to each detail, the world’s greatest gunsmiths have recreated this American classic as only they can. As they assemble the gun, they check and recheck their work after each step to ensure complete accuracy. The result is a working firearm that shows the talent, care, and dedication of its builders in its every detail.
