^#2000 ^Lot 2061 U.S. Military Issue Colt Model 1860 Army Revolver

#109092, caliber .44, 8” barrel with a very good bore. This is factory cut for a shoulder stock. All numbers match on the metal with the trigger guard having a factory error “10909” and its last digit missing. Many of the small parts have small military inspector’s initials. The metal retains most of a period reblue that is turning plum. The factory markings are in very good condition with about 70% of the cylinder scene remaining. The gun is mechanically good and its one-piece walnut grip rates very good. The grip has a well done repair at the butt where holes have been filled on each side of the metal. These holes were carved by many Cavalry troopers to attach a leather lanyard. A Colt factory letter is included that indicates this was one of 1000 similar revolvers shipped to the New York Arsenal in 1863.
