NICKEL PLATED COLT M1860 ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

SN 192759. Cal. 44. Nickle finish with 8″ rd bbl, full front sight & 1-line New-York U.S. America address. Left side of frame is marked “COLTS PATTERN” & left shoulder trigger guard is marked “44 cal”. Nickle plated brass trigger guard & iron backstrap contain a varnished 1-pc walnut grip with last 4 digits of matching SN in backstrap channel. Cyl is rebated with 6 chambers & has Ormsby Naval Battle Scene roll marking. Four of the 6 safety pins are strong and serviceable. This revolver was manufactured in about 1871 during which time about any big bore revolver was in great demand for the great westward expansion. Firearms of that era usually saw very hard service and are rarely found with original finish today. It was probably during this period of use that necessitated being refinished.

Overall retains about 95% strong, bright nickle with minor losses around the muzzle & forcing cone areas & face of cyl. Backstrap shows moderate losses also. Cyl is matching condition with strong nickle and shows 96-97% Naval Battle Scene roll marking.
