This is a nice .44 caliber Civil War Colt "Army" model revolver with a very early production set of serial numbers. These Colt army revolvers were a favorite of any Civil War soldier that was lucky enough to be able to get one. This has a silverish gray color all over with a very pleasing tone. Across the top of the barrel it has most of the Colt maker's mark and the New York City office location. These guns were actually manufactured in Hartford, Connecticut but New York City was the sales office location. It has matching serial numbers of 50,890 including the original barrel wedge. These are nice early serial numbers. Thanks to Mr. Colt's bookwork we know that these serial numbers would have been made in 1862. On the sides of the cylinder you can see some traces of the naval engagement scene between the Texas Navy and the Mexican Navy. The side of the frame still has the very clear "COLTS PATENT" stamping that matches the one on the cylinder. The action is in nice functioning condition. The handle of the gun has the original 1-piece walnut grips intact with a nice look to the wood with a modern coat of varnish. The brass of the triggerguard has a very pleasing golden tone to the brass against the silver tone of the metal. This is a nice honest model 1860 Colt patent army revolver that displays quite well.
