CVA 1860 Colt .44 Army Percussion
This CVA Black Powder Only, Percussion .44 Cal. Revolver is a copy of the famous Civil War 1860 Army by Colt. Connecticut Valley Arms had this made by Uberti in Italy in the early 1980's. It fires a .454 round ball from an 8" barrel. It is all steel construction with brass trigger guard and walnut stocks, overall the length is about 14". The case colored frame is as new and the gun is unfired in the original box with warranty card from 1989. However, two cylinders must have had percussion cap discharges as there is evidence of old rust around those nipples from not being cleaned properly. Also, the wedge is a very tight fit and shows disassembly marks on wedge, screw and immediate surrounding area. Still, the overall appearance is like new but as noted. Gun is cut for stock and has the attachment screws. Box is in excellent condition but edges have been touched up by black marker, it stills looks fine and no doubt was improved.
