This is a great looking original Civil War .44 caliber Colt revolver. These guns are better known to collectors as the Civil War "Army" model revolver. They were a weapon of choice for most branches of the service during the War. This one has all matching serial numbers of 89,267 including the original barrel wedge. These serial numbers let us know that the gun was manufactured in the earlier part of 1863. Model 1860 Colt Army revolvers were made with an 8 inch barrel that has a silver blade style front sight. The original sight is intact on this muzzle end of the gun barrel. Across the top of the barrel is the Colt maker's mark along with the New York City location. These guns were actually manufactured in Hartford, Connecticut with the sales office being in New York City. The action of the gun works functions on all positions. There is still about 85 to 90% of the original cylinder scene visible. The is the rolled engraved naval engagement scene that depicts the naval battle between the Texas and and the Mexican navy. There is the original factory bluing remaining on the protected areas under the patina. You can see the factory case colors on the frame underneath the patina. On the side of the frame and also on the cylinder you can see the "COLTS PATENT" mark to go along with the same marking on the cylinder. On the handle of the gun the original 1-piece walnut grip is present with a beautiful look. It has the sub inspector initials on some parts of the gun. This is a nice and honest Civil War .44 caliber Colt Army model revolver with a very pleasing look that is a step above most of the ones you encounter.
