Was fortunate enough to have run across this Colt 1860 New Model Army recently. From the serial number I believe it was made in 1862. It appears to be all matching from the numbers I see. Functions perfectly (half cock, full cock, etc) and the barrel shows strong rifling and looks like it has been taken care of.
I’m thinking about ordering a letter from Colt to try to get its history but not sure what it will consist of or give insight about. I am reading a detailed book on the model but just started on it so hopefully it’ll give some good info on the model in general.
Couldn‘t be happier with it, especially for the price, and wanted to share some pics. Hoping to learn more about the model (and maybe this specific gun) so gladly welcome comments/feedback/info. Thank you
