Typical settings: American Civil War films, Union cavalry portrayals, frontier-era stories, and classic Western cinema.
This non-firing replica revolver is modeled after the M1860 Army, commonly known as the Colt Army 1860, a .44-caliber percussion revolver designed by Samuel Colt. Introduced on the eve of the American Civil War, it quickly became one of the most widely used sidearms of the conflict.
Historically, the Colt Army 1860 was especially favored by Union cavalry and officers for its balance, reliability, and firepower. Its six-shot cylinder and streamlined profile represented a major advancement over earlier revolver designs, making it one of the defining handguns of mid-19th-century American warfare.
Cinematically, the Colt Army 1860 has become a visual shorthand for the Civil War and the transitional era that followed. Western and historical films frequently use it to bridge battlefield scenes and frontier storytelling, reinforcing its status as both a wartime tool and an enduring symbol of American expansion. Its appearance in classic Western cinema helped cement its reputation as one of the most recognizable revolvers of the era.
Manufactured in Spain by Denix, a respected replica maker founded in 1967, this non-firing replica is constructed of metal and wood, features a rotating cylinder, and a simulated loading and firing mechanism. Finished with brass-toned accents, it reflects period styling while remaining set safe for film, television, theater, rehearsal, reenactment, and display use only.
