CASED COLT MODEL 1860 ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

SN 90961. Cal. .44. Usual configuration with 8″ rnd bbl, slightly reduced nickel silver front sight and 1-line New-York U.S. America address. Left side of frame has a small “COLTS PATENT”. Frame is 3-screw type cut for shoulder stock with flat head hammer screw. The brass trigger guard and steel backstrap contain a 1-pc walnut grip with last 4 digits of matching SN in backstrap channel. Although the cartouches are worn away this is undoubtedly a martial revolver with small inspector initial over all of the visible parts, including cyl, backstrap, trigger guard and bbl. Accompanied by an orig purple velvet lined mahogany casing that is compartmented in bottom for the revolver with empty compartments that would contain a flask, mold and other implements. Front center compartment contains lead bullets and balls. About 200,500 of these fine revolvers were produced in the period 1860 – 1873. They were one of, if not the most favorite sidearm during the Civil War. Large numbers were purchased by the U.S. Government with many more private purchased by individual soldiers. These Civil War era revolvers generally saw very hard service under adverse conditions which continued on the American Frontier with units fighting Indians well into the late 1870s/1880s. This appears to be one of those hard used revolvers to which has been added this fine case. CONDITION: Revolver is very good, all matching including wedge, cyl and grip. Overall retains a smooth, cleaned gray metal patina. Trigger guard retains a mustard patina. Grip has a repaired left toe and shows heavy wear with a hand worn patina.
