Buyer's premium:

This is one of some 200,000 M1860 Army revolvers made from 1860 through 1873, and was the successor type to the larger Colt Third Model Dragoon horse pistol. The government-issued Colt Army 44 was the major sidearm in use by US troops during the Civil War. This particular handgun is a nice .44 caliberwith a 6-shot fluted cylinder and an 8” round barrel, which was probably shortened slightly due to muzzle damage. It has a lovely worn gray patina, with no signs of refinishing.

Condition: Very Good
