Here’s your chance to own a true Civil War sidearm — an original 1862 production Colt Model 1860 Army made right in the heart of the conflict. With martial inspector cartouches still faintly present on the grips and matching serial numbers (save for the wedge), this revolver carries authentic battlefield-era character.
The 1860 Army was the primary sidearm of Union forces and is widely regarded as one of Samuel Colt’s finest designs — streamlined, powerful, and perfectly balanced. The rebated cylinder and three-screw frame mark it as a correct early-war configuration, and despite its honest wear and complete loss of finish, it remains mechanically excellent with strong rifling still visible in the bore.
This is not a refinished wall-hanger — it’s a genuine, untouched Civil War veteran showing 160+ years of history. For the collector who appreciates originality, martial markings, and strong mechanics, this is a highly desirable example of one of the most iconic revolvers ever produced.
A serious piece of American history ready for the next collection.
