Colt revolver

glyn
Saw this colt revolver for sale (#464788962) states its a possible reblue but seller doesn't know for sure. What's the opinion of others based on the pictures shown. I'm not 100% certain but leaning towards a reblue. It just seems to look to nice. What do you think

    address should be on top of the barrel. What model is it?

    According to Flayderman's Guide, both the 1851 Navy & 1860 Army should have the address on barrel and patent data on frame.

    As your talking about revolvers made over 140 years ago its possible that through hard use and multiple refinishings, the original markings might be nonexistent or indecipherable.

    Its tha colt army,it sounds like it could be a copy to me.Apparently it looks like the barrel has been reblued but doesnt appear so worn that the address has worn off.

    Those who live by the sword will be killed by those who dont. Glyn

    It is an 1860 Army made late in 1862.
    The name and address on the barrel could have been polished out during refinishing.

    If the barrel or gun is a copy or faux it probably wouldn't have gain twist rifling. Take the barrel off and view it from the rear. Gain twist rifling starts off straight then progressively starts to rotate.
    Is the cylinder engraved?
