CIVIL WAR SURGEON NY 47th & 44th Antique U.S. COLT Model 1860 ARMY Revolver

Here we present an antique Civil War Colt U.S. Model 1860 Army Percussion Revolver, made in 1863.
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.

The overall condition is very good. Patina throughout. Strong Battle of Campeche cylinder scene. The action is excellent. The bore is in very good condition with sharp rifling. The grip is solid and shows a cartouche on either side. Other inspection marks visible throughout. Numbers match throughout with the exception of the barrel wedge, which is 847 numbers different which was most likely swapped in the field.
