Description
Step into American history with this original Colt 1860 Army percussion revolver, manufactured in 1863 and marked by classic Civil War military features. This iconic .44 caliber revolver features the desirable three-screw frame cut for a shoulder stock, with matching serial number 108879 on all major components—including the barrel, frame, trigger guard, backstrap, and wedge—highlighting its authenticity.
The revolver retains a strong Ormsby cylinder scene and clear Colt and U.S. martial inspector markings. Its brass trigger guard has aged beautifully with a mellow mustard patina, while the walnut grips have been preserved under a protective varnish. Mechanically sound with a very good bore, this revolver remains a functional and collectible piece.
Presented in a handsome modern-fitted hardwood case, the set includes a powder flask, bullet mold, nipple wrench, and a tin of CCI No. 11 percussion caps—perfect for historical display or reenactment collectors. Whether you’re a Civil War enthusiast, antique arms collector, or investing in iconic American craftsmanship, this Colt 1860 Army delivers unmatched historical appeal.
