COLT MODEL 1860 ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

Revised: 10/19/2007

(Correction) Please Note: We stated that this appeared to be a Tommy Haas reconstruction having started with an exceptionally fine barrel and rammer numbered “65567.” We stand corrected. The gun is in fact refinished, but finish was apparently done by the Colt Factory at some time in the early part of the 20th Century when they were still working with the niter blue finish. The gun is a beautiful display piece.
