POST-BELLUM Conversion CIVIL WAR COLT M1860 ARMY .44 HENRY Rimfire Antique
1863 Mfr. Revolver Used Past ACW into the WILD WEST
Here we present an antique Colt U.S. Model 1860 Army Conversion Revolver in .44 Henry Rimfire, made in 1863 in Hartford, Connecticut and subsequently converted in the years following the expiration or the Rollin White Patent. The 1860 Army was the single most used pistol of the American Civil War. Over 200,000 were made from 1860 to 1873, and 156,000 of those were made by the end of the war in 1865. These were excellent sidearms for officers, cavalry, infantry, and artillery troops. 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 and 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.
The overall condition is very good. Some original finish with a plum patina. The action is excellent. The bore is near fine, shiny bright with sharp rifling. The grip shows use and remains solid and tight to the frame. Numbers match except for the barrel wedge. A solid gun that would have been a great companion to the Henry Rifle or the Winchester Model 1866!
