Year of Manufacture: 1866: Model: 1860 ARMY (.44 CALIBER WITH NAVAL ENGAGEMENT SCENE ON CYLINDER)
Matching numbers on frame, barrel, wedge, cylinder, cylinderpin. It was sold as a civilgun therefor the silverplated triggerguard. Everything works perfect, its tight and and it shoots like a dream with .457 roundballs. Barrel is sharp, its not totally mirrorfinish its a little matte but really nice. Sights works for me at 25m on a bullseye target I aim below the black at the 4ring and it hitts center.
Sad part is that its reblued and the loading lever is nickelplated, but its beautiful and affordable it must have been in excellent shape when it was reblued all numbers and markings are sharp and cylinder scene is good. But will try to find a original loading lever and match it to the gun. I know its an original revolver "destroyed" by reblueing I never thought I was going to buy a reblued one, im more of an traditionalist I like it when its patina. A friend of mine has owned it for some years and he bought it from a serious antique blackpowder gun store/collector. Ive been drooling over this gun for years and now my friend offered me to buy it for a reasonable price a lot less than what he payed for it, I couldnt resist it now I have a beautiful shooter. Cant believe its mine its so beautiful,
