Engraved Colt 1860 Army .44 Cal SN: 158863
This revolver was period nickel plated and vine scroll engraved. Commercial revolver with no inspectors stamps, or cut outs for shoulder stock, manufactured 1866. It has about 60% beautiful scroll engraving reminiscent of the factory engraving of Gustave Young but probably later applied by an unknown craftsman. The cylinder naval battle scene is covered by the engraving. The ivory grips have that nice mellow yellow color from age. A little shrinkage, a small chip out of the lower left side, and a repair on the upper left side. Action works well, bore has strong rifling with scattered pitting, markings are faint, all matching serial number including the barrel wedge. Action works well, the barrel wedge screw appears to be a newer replacement. Comes in a glass topped wooden display case lined with red velvet. NRA Condition-Good. Antique Firearm.
