Martially marked Colt model 1860 Army revolver, .44 cal., one-piece walnut grips with cartouches, serial #89978, 8" round barrel.

Condition

The barrel is turning brown with minor surface rust. The cylinder has a crisp and clear scene and there are traces of blue on the back strap. Both grips have cartouches and have 12 notches cut into the base. The action indexes, but the mainspring appears to be broken. All numbers match but we are unable to check the wedge. Cylinder scene is about 80%. Cylinder rotates when you pull the hammer, however the weapon does not fire from trigger. Cartouche is JT in script. Overall fine condition.
