Digging around that collectors site, I'm almost seeing the hated Pietta grip tail flare on some of those Colts. That fully fluted 1860 above has somewhat of flare on the heal of it's grip.

Sweet!

It's US above and 1860 below. Third Generation Officer's Model.

Nobody anymore. It's a Third Generation Colt, Signature Series from the 1990s. Around 1995-1996.

That's about the same time I got my Model 1860. Nothing (in my humble opinion), is more stylish looking in a black powder revolver than a Model 1860 (or one of it's variants).

Here's the second gen Colt version of the of the 1860 including a facsimile US inspector cartouche in the grip. This came out of the two gun set shown in second picture

200th Cavalry Anniversary set from 1979.


Here's a 2nd gen version of the London set sort of.---one Navy has a square back and one has a round trigger guard. These are serial number matched Navies out of the Colt RE Lee and US Grant cased sets. Colt made 250 double sets and I had one back in the early 70's but sold it. This set was recreated with one of Bill Shumate's cases.


I had a brass plate engraved for it. The original Colt set had US Grant first, but I'm from the South, so I got to pick who got top billing in my recreation.

I shot my 2 1860 Pietta's today. Lots of fun. Tried a cylinder of wads & no balls. Looks like a good Wasp killer there!

Since we're going unrelated. Sunday I went to mow the lawn, I have 2 Weber grills in front of my 3rd car garage door. Pulled 1 of the Webers away and out of the corner of my eye I notice this:



They say in Missouri it's best to look before you grab things... Turns out I had 2 of these Western Ratsnakes living in the other Weber grill. Good Snakes to have around!!!

Colt.

But a very complicated story but, the main party involved, Lou Imperato, whose son Anthony Imperato of Henry Repeating Rifles, played the biggest part in these reissues.

I can't believe that I haven't posted these until now. Stainless Steel Uberti Colt 1851 Navies mfg 1983: up until ltwo weeks ago both were unfired. Now only one is. The one that was shot is consecutive serial number with one I bought back in 2006.
