This iconic cap and ball gun was manufactured from 1860 through 1873. Using the same frame as the 1851 revolver (.36 caliber), the frame was designed to accommodate a rebated cylinder so it could chamber a .44 caliber. A distinguishing feature of the Model 1860. the frame had no top strap. Instead, its strength came from the lower frame and the massive fixed cylinder pin. Used primarily by the Union in the Civil War, the Colt 1860 cost approximately $20 per revolver. This was rather expensive during the 1860s, both for the United States Army and private citizens.

This non-firinh replica features a barrel length of 8" (20.32 cm) and a total length of 11" (27.94 cm), as well as beautiful brass framing, a blued finish, and wooden grips.
