19th century
Description

A genuine Colt 1860 Army percussion revolver, .44 calibre, with regulation 8-inch barrel, serial number 130610, manufactured circa 1863.

All major components retain matching serial numbers, confirming originality throughout. A small “H” sub-inspector’s stamp is present, consistent with U.S. Government inspection.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

The Colt Model 1860 Army revolver is a cap-and-ball .44 calibre firearm manufactured by Colts Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company, widely utilised as a primary sidearm by military forces during the American Civil War.

These revolvers typically feature a forged steel barrel and cylinder, a brass or steel trigger guard and backstrap, and carved solid walnut wood grips.

Authentic examples generally feature matching serial numbers stamped across various components, government inspection marks on the walnut grip, and specific barrel address markings corresponding to period production.

Antique revolvers are commonly styled in custom-fitted shadow boxes, glass-topped presentation cases, or mounted on bespoke desktop stand bases within a study, library, or cabinet of curiosities.

Preservation requires keeping the firearm in a humidity-controlled environment, applying microcrystalline wax or specialist gun oil to protect the metal from oxidisation, and avoiding abrasive cleansers that strip natural patina.
