Classic Civil War issue Colt 1860 Army .44 Caliber Percussion Six Shot Revolver with serial number 112732 made during the middle of the war in 1863. This was one of the most issued and popular of the Civil War revolvers with many, if not most, going to the West after the end of the war for the Indian Wars or frontier service. Being issued in the thick of the fighting in the Civil War, this revolver no doubt saw heavy battle use for a number of years. Amazingly, it has all matching numbers on the back strap, trigger guard, barrel assembly, cylinder, cylinder arbor, fame and even on the barrel wedge. This is extremely unusual because all of these 1863 issued Civil War 1860s saw protracted battle use under the harshest of conditions for several years. It was common for revolvers that suffered damage to have the damaged part replaced with a serviceable part from another damaged gun. So, a revolver with a burst barrel might have another barrel put in its place from a similar Colt that had a mechanical problem. In such a case, the barrel serial number would not match the rest of the Colt. Finding an example manufactured in 1863 with all matching numbers is extremely desirable and seldom encountered on the collector market today. Overall this fine Colt displays a very attractive deep aged patina. It has the original matching numbered 8” barrel with crisp and correct Colt one line address on top, “ADDRESS COL. SAM’L COLT NEW YORK, U S AMERICA,” and the correct small blade front sight. The left side of the frame is correctly stamped “COLT’S PATENT.” The cylinder is also marked with the one line Colt patent dates under the “COLTS PATENT” and serial number stamping on the side of the cylinder. Most of the original roll engraved cylinder scene is also visible. The attached loading lever functions properly and the one piece walnut grips are in very fine condition. This very fine Civil War issued Model 1860 Colt still maintains a crisp, tight and fully functioning action with strong springs and fine frame screws. It also displays a lovely brass trigger guard. Even the bore retains fine, deep rifling. All of this model made during the Civil War were issued and saw use. Many issued Colt Model 1860 Army revolvers were lost on battle fields and recovered by Southern Troops where they continued service for the Confederacy. It is very difficult to find such an example with this much visual appeal and fine mechanical condition. An iconic historical firearm of the violent close-contact battles of the Civil War and later in the turbulent Wild West. This sound example is worthy of any Colt, Civil War, Old West or museum collection.. Serial Number: 112732. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
