Colt 1860..finally got one.

[Anzac15]

I have always loved the Colt 1860. To me it is the best looking American percussion revolver ever made, and I always said if I could find one that was priced halfway reasonably, it would be mine. After all, anything old and marked 'COLT' around here requires a small loan, blood sample, your first born, etc..
So when I found this rather worn relic yesterday at the gun show for what I considered to be more than halfway reasonable, I grabbed it.
It is, from what I can see, all matching. Most markings are worn, but there. Action is, for its age, pretty tight. A bit tired feeling, but cocked it locks up like its supposed to.
Serial number puts it at 1863, if my reading is correct.
Very happy to have it!
