Colt 1860 Army 4-Screw Frame Civil War Era Made 1862 Full Martial Markings
Description: DESCRIPTION: Colt 1860 Army, 6-shot rebated cylinder, 44 caliber percussion revolver, serial # 31311, made in 1862, with standard walnut grips and 8" round barrel, single action. Full martial markings include sub-inspector initials "S" and "T" on the cylinder, "S" just behind the trigger guard, "C" on the left side of the barrel at the forcing cone, "S" on the right side of the barrel at the forcing cone, "D" on the underside of the barrel just ahead of the last rachet hole, "D" on the top of the grip strap just behind the hammer, and a very clear main inspector's mark "PB" cartouche on the left grip for Pomeroy Booth. Serial number matches on the butt, trigger guard, frame, barrel, wedge, cylinder and arbor. CONDITION: Hammer retains 60% original bright case colors with the balance turned patina. Frame retains 35% bright original case colors with the balance turned patina. Original walnut grips show typical light dings and scratches with abrasion loss at the front right bottom, otherwise very good with some original varnish remaining. Upper portion of barrel is mostly patina with traces of original blue around the brass front sight, bright blue around the wedge, dark blue in the protected areas near the ram rod, and about 80% bright original blue on the underside where it is hidden by the ram rod. Ram rod shows 20% bright original case colors in the flats, otherwise has turned a mix of dark blue and patina. Cylinder has turned patina with dark blue along the transition edge from the cylinder scene to the cylinder stops. All original nipples are intact and undamaged. Cylinder pins mostly there with a couple of them flattened out from use. Bore is excellent, bright and shiny with sharp rifling and no black powder fouling, an 8.5 of 10. Brass trigger guard is a mellowed color and has never been cleaned. Back strap is mostly patina with dark blue at the top by the hammer. Clear and sharp markings, including the "COLTS PATENT" on the left side of the frame, the New York barrel address, and all of the serial numbers. Cylinder retains just about all of the engagement date, clear and sharp patent number and patent date, and 90% of the original cylinder scene. Hammer spring is extremely strong, cylinder locks up tight as a drum with no wobble, and has very sharp clicks on all stages of the hammer cock. Grades NRA Antique Fine. ASSESSMENT: Due to the nice condition, this revolver was likely issued to a Union Army officer and did not see much use other than carry in a holster.
