Suitably stunning example of not only Sam Colt’s design genius, but his artistic sense as well.
Critics with far greater understanding of art have termed Sam’s last three revolvers (of which the M1860 is the biggest) as the ultimate expression of streamlining in firearms design produced during the 19th century. I happen to agree, but my vote is not adding much weight.
They don’t merely look good, they handle just as well. It’s as if they aim themselves.
This looks like a non-firing replica. Might devolve care to tell us more about its origin, and share any additional detail?
