This lot features a classic early Civil War issue Colt 1860 Army .44 Caliber Percussion Six Shot Revolver.

AMERICA,” correct small blade front sight, attached loading lever functions correctly, one piece walnut grips intact and shows an engraved cylinder showing an eagle holding a United States of America banner. The firearm shows wonderful condition for its Civil War age. This firearm was manufactured in 1862. Serial Number: 82360.
