The serial number is 255600 and was made in early 1864 during the Civil War it could have been a private purchase..  Soldiers quickly discovered that the quickest reload was another gun and this had 6 shots. It retains 68% blue and 62% case colors. The grips have 95% varnish remaining. The safety pins are all intact. The cylinder retains 85% cylinder scene. The mechanical function is crisp and tight. The 4” barrel has a bright and shiny bore with strong rifling but does have some corrosion. All of the markings are sharp and crisp. Only a very small amount of silver is remaining on the trigger guard. This Colt is very fine plus condition.
