CIVIL WAR Antique COLT 1860 ARMY .44 Revolver
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique COLT 1860 ARMY .44 Revolver With Neat Ivory Embellished Grips! Here we present an antique Colt Model 1860 Army Percussion Revolver, made in 1863 in Hartford, Connecticut, in the middle of the Civil War. 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. This one has been there and done that! This one went on to get nickel finished after the war and saw so much use that much of that is gone. It also got some really fabulous ivory inlays on the grip, a great example of folk art. Regardless of use, this revolver remains mechanically sharp and a great gun altogether. The overall condition is very good. The markings are clear. Grips are in great shape. The bore is in good shape with sharp rifling. The action is excellent. If you want an example of a Colt 1860 Army made during the Civil War that has tons of character and has been there and done that, this is it! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 8 inches. Caliber: .44 Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1995 #8356 SOLD Antique: Yes |
