Weapons of the Civil War
All weapons listed on this webpage are strictly manufactured before 1898, and are considered unsafe for actual use. These are antique collectible weapons of the Civil War (most are pre 1865, unless I state otherwise) and actual firing of these weapons is not recommended for any purpose whatsoever! Because these are all "pre 1898" weapons, no licenses are required for ownership, but common sense and good judgment are real good things to have.
W0741 Colt Model 1860 Army Revolver .44 cal.
This was the most popular of the Civil War revolver, it was
a percussion fired six shooter, .44 caliber round barrel for the Army.

Left frame is marked "COLTS / PATENT". Cylinder is marked "COLTS
PATENT No "8818" (last four digits of serial number) / PAT SEPT 10TH
1850", and a scene (which is usually very weak) Trigger guard is marked

and "LL" on the barrel frame, and "L" under the barrel.
