CIVIL WAR Antique COLT 1860 4-Screw Army Revolver
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique COLT 1860 4-Screw Army Revolver Cavalry Sidearm Made First Year of Civil War 1861 Here we present an antique Colt Model 1860 4-Screw Army Revolver, made in 1861 in Hartford, Connecticut. The Model 1860 was the single most used pistol of the American Civil War. Over 200,000 were made from 1860 to 1873, and 156,000 were made by the end of the war in 1865. 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 but 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 is an example of the earlier 4-Screw Model 1860 Army. The large 4th screw on the frame was included to attach the shoulder stock, but this feature was dropped fairly early. A faint inspector’s cartouche is visible on the left side of the grip. Single letter inspector’s initials can be found throughout. The top of the barrel reads “—ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA—“. The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces have seen significant weathering with a gray-brown patina. The markings are legible. The serial numbers match, with the exception of the wedge, which is 6 numbers off, close enough to have been mixed in the field. The original walnut grip shows wear and is in good shape. The bore is very good with sharp rifling. The action is excellent. Here is a great example of a US contract Colt 1860 Army Revolver from the beginning of the Civil War! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 8 inches. Caliber: .44 Percussion 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 $3200 #6028 SOLD Antique: Yes |
