Real Deal Colt 1860
« on: October 20, 2005, 12:08:56 AM »
I showed a pic of my genuine Remington in SCORRS,  now here are a couple pics of my genuine Colt Model 1860!

This 1860 is a little different though.  After showing it to some experienced collectors and a little research,  I found out that it is a mixed-numbers, "US" stamped (on the trigger guard) Springfield Armory refurbished pistol.  I'm told that most were issued to the 9th & 10th Cavalry's (the Buffalo Soldiers).

The second pic is with original  M1874 Officer's belt buckle & EM cap badge,  and a holster (probably Confederate) that I picked up just after I bought the Colt. 

The holster fits the 1860 perfectly.  I found some pics of an absolutely identical holster with known Confederate provenance on the net- the only diffence being the color of the leather dye.

Enjoy,  and let me know what you think!

John

Recoil shield cut for a stock, but only three screws in the frame, doesn't appear to have had holes bored for the other set...unusual.

I have one with all matching #'s ( same Recoil shield cut for a stock, notch in butt, but only three screws in the frame, no holes for 4th.)
I sent the SS# to Colt back in 1983 ... records state it was one of 1000 ordered by the State of Iowa, issued to the 5th. lowa Cav.
