Colt 1860 Army ship date

[mrclark303]

Nice looking old revolver...

Agreed Jim, good honest Army with lots of history.


The typical marks where the previous military owners have hammered out the wedge in the field, no doubt after it had been murdered absolutely solid into position along with ground in dust etc

Looks like replacement nipples, did the previous owner shoot it?

If so, give it a really good clean and oil.

Thanks sir. Near certain they are replacements...not a hint of rust. But the gun itself is the only history I have...plus the intriguing Colt Forum info about its Civil War receiving unit. Thus the desire to find a ship date from SRS if it exists.
