Hardcover with a dust jacket. The definitive history of the Colt Model 1860 Army Revolver--this book serves as a reliable, easy-to-use reference for the collector and military historian. The author has amassed a database that contains approximately 8,000 surviving examples of complete pistols. After examining records from the Colt factory, regimental books, the Ordnance Department and the Treasury Department, as well as these revolvers, the author, having now written the complete story of these handguns, presents it all in this book using over 900 black & white photos. The Colt Model 1860 Army Revolver is the most iconic handgun of the Civil War. In this groundbreaking new study, noted researcher and author Charles W. Pate presents the entire story of the Model 1860 from its development under the supervision of Sam Colt to its procurement by the United States military and commercial customers. The revolvers of the Union forces are very carefully examined, as are those New Model Army Colts used in the Confederate States of America, including captured guns. Of particular value to collectors, there are detailed sections on variations within the Model 1860, including all the markings, finishes, shoulder stocks and deluxe decorations that are likely to be encountered. Revolvers used aboard U.S. Navy and U.S. Army ships are also studied, as well as those revolvers carried during the period of the Indian Wars. Many of these fine weapons come with detailed histories, which bring to life the experiences of the men who trusted their lives to the effectiveness of this beautiful and meticulously constructed handgun. No enthusiast of Colts or American military handguns can afford to do without this uniquely detailed look into one of our nation's most important pistols. A really outstanding new reference book.
