41st OHIO VOL. INFANTRY CIVIL WAR Antique COLT Model 1860 ARMY Revolver .44
Main Union Sidearm Made in 1862
Here we present an antique Colt U.S. Model 1860 Army Revolver, made in 1862 in Hartford, Connecticut. The revolver has been attributed by oral tradition to Private Maynard of the 41st Ohio Infantry Regiment, Company G. The revolver is initialed on the underside of the grip “FHM”. Private Maynard’s first name was Thomas and his middle initial H, though military records do indicate that he was also known as “F.H. Maynard”. This revolver was acquired from the Maynard family as a photo of a bill of sale from 1954 indicates.
Born circa 1825, Thomas H. Maynard enlisted on the 10th of September 1861, aged 36, as a Private. He served for just over three years with a unit that saw significant action in battle such as at Shiloh and Stones River, Tennessee; Chickamauga, Georgia; Missionary Ridge, Tennessee; and Pickett’s Mills, Georgia, to name a few. They were known for their experience and produced two Medal of Honor recipients. They suffered 176 killed from battle and 154 from disease, always a sobering reminder of the realities of warfare.

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.
The overall condition is very good. Patina throughout. The action is strong. The boreis dim with strong rifling. The grip is solid. The grip shows cartouches on either side, along with soldier graffiti on the bottom. Numbers match.
