Lot 25144:
Colt Civil War Era .44 BP
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
