Colt 1860 (is it real?)
Please help me determine of my Colt model 1860 could be real or not. It has a serial number of 142xxx with a 3-screw frame cut for shoulder stock. Cylinder has the navy ship scene and is stamped with a "D". Barrel is 8 in long and stamped with a "D" on the left side and has the New York address. The strange think is that the rifling would spin the bullet clockwise instead of counterclockwise. I have not seen this before. Did colt build any 1860's with this configuration? Thanks

The Serial Number shows it to have been produced in 1863...And the answer to your question is.....Yes!
