Colt 1860 Army martial, 44 cal., 8” barrel, 6 shot std round cylinder. 3 screw frame cut for shoulder stock. Matching numbers 72261 on frame, barrel, straps; the cylinder number is illegible but the cylinder carries the same inspectors initial as the barrel. The wedge number is only 11 digits away. Good military inspector marks on major parts. The barrel address is missing as is the cylinder scene, but oddly, the cylinder patent date is stiil pretty good. The finish is all grey patina with some external pitting on the barrel, the frame is a nice grey with little pitting and sharp edges. Grips are very good, with small amounts of shrinkage, they are tight fitting and have only small divots missing at the toes and butt. Mechanically, the action works very well, look-up is good and the nipples look good, I believe someone has ground the front of the arbor pin as when you loosen the wedge, its fit is quite loose in the barrel, if the wedge is pushed in, the barrel locks well. O/A NRA Antique good. $1850.00

Colt 1860, 1^st Model Richards conversion. 44 CF, 8” barrel, 6 shot. A factory conversion on an early numbered civilian gun. The barrel is a stretched one; it had been cut apparently to about 4 ½” and someone has welded on an extension from another 1860 barrel. Not a bad job outside, but the rifling does NOT match up. Numbers match on the frame, barrel, cylinder, ejector tube and straps but not the wedge and arbor. Faint but readable barrel address and good frame markings. O/A finish grey/brown patina with lots of dents and small rust pits. Grips have been sanded undersized and are loose. Excellent operating condition, has broken wedge spring and replaced ejector screw. O/A NRA Antique good. $2995.00

Heavy holster wear at muzzle and butt. The grips are sound, original and worn. Very good barrel and other markings and it retains most of the cylinder scene. The butt is inscribed with a set of what look like departmental markings (J.P.D. No. 19.) Replaced ejector head. Gate and base pin retain the fitters #90, correct wedge is typically un-numbered. Excellent chambers, the bore retains very strong rifling with the usual period pitting but it is mostly sharp. Mechanically there is nothing to make excuses for; everything works, the gun locks up very tightly and the barrel/frame fit is excellent. Antique. ~~$3295.~~ Reduced to $2795.00
