This is an attic-mint Colt 1860 Army Pistol in wonderful condition. I haven't seen a better gun in about 2 years. It shows 80% blue on the barrel and perhaps 20% on the cylinder scattered over a perfect cylinder scene. The balance of these parts is a mix of aged blue and plum patinia. The case colors are neary staggering, showing 99% bright and vivid to each side of the frame and maybe 90% on the lever and hammer. The grips are nearly perfect and the screws are all near mint and do not appear to have been removed in the last 100 years. This isn't a really fine gun or one that you would say "hey, thats a really nice Army". This is a GREAT GUN.
