These collectible commemorative firearms have the appearance of a Colt 1860 Percussion Revolver but are single-shot in their function. The 6" barrel is made from blued steel, as is the "cylinder". The Civil War Centennial's frame is highly polished brass, while the smooth wood grips finish off these beautiful handguns. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history that not only commemorates a significant event but is also a work of art in its own right.
