Colt 1860 Army 44 caliber circa 1862 Civil War Era

Description:
 A nice solid Civil War era Colt 1860 Army that was shipped in 1862. The gun is all matching numbers except the barrel which is 11 digits off which is not that odd for a civil war gun.
Barrels got mixed at cleaning sessions, in armories and one hypothesis is that at the end of a run at the factory itself.
The bore is in very good condition and lockup, and timing are also very good. The previous owner actually shot this gun on occasion and gave me a load formula which I never did use as I never shot it. The French Walnut box and other implements were acquired by me.
It has a beautiful patina over all and does not look messed with. It was cut and numbered for a shoulder stock from the factory and the two holes in the grip butt, along with the cutout for the rear sight indicate a Mexican shoulder stock connection. The Mexicans were known to has secured they're shoulder stocks in this manner.
The flask, the pack of nipples and bullet mold are all original period items. 
Also included is an extra barrel wedge which is unnumbered as is the installed one.  $2150 shipped insure USPS Priority as an antique. Payment with USPS money order or cashiers check.
