Navy Arms 1860 Army 44 Cal 7.25" Black Powder Revolver MFD 1985

The Navy Arms 1860 Army is a faithful reproduction of the iconic Colt 1860 Army revolver, which saw extensive use during the American Civil War. Known for its sleek profile and improved balance over earlier models like the 1851 Navy, this percussion revolver became a favorite among cavalry troops for its power and reliability. This reproduction from 1985 was manufactured in Italy, combining historical aesthetics with durable craftsmanship for black powder enthusiasts and reenactors alike.

This particular example retains a strong 90% original finish with crisp markings, a naval battle scene still visible on the cylinder, and sharp rifling in a bright bore. The 7.25” barrel length gives it a unique handling characteristic that slightly sets it apart from the standard 8” configuration, making it a well-balanced piece for display or black powder shooting. The walnut grips remain in very good condition, adding to its attractive presentation.

Whether you're a collector of Civil War reproductions or simply enjoy the charm and challenge of black powder shooting, this Navy Arms 1860 Army revolver delivers both form and function. Its fine condition and fully functional mechanics make it an excellent addition to any collection or shooting lineup.
