(More customer reviews)I own this one and a couple of other Denix Replicas. They hang on the wall in my den. The real stuff is of course kept in the safes.
Denix did a good job on this replica. It has some features that reflect the Colt Original changes from their 1851 Navy Revolver. It incorporates the creeping or ratchet loading lever and the round barrel of the .44 caliber Army Model of 1860, but would have been a .36 caliber. It also does not have a cylider scene and the barrel and the cylinder is fluted. It would have had a brass trigger guard and back strap, silver plated, which were standard. The original Colt weighed in at 43 oz and was 1 5/8 inches shorter. But overall Denix go it right.
If you are into the history of the Colt Company, the 1861 Model being mass produced and killing the competition. Colt was producing 85% of this weapon by machine with precise production standards that resulted in interchangeable parts. His assembly line production methods were lated imitated by Henry Ford. Although made in Italy, this replica serves to represent a remarkable era in American history.

During the Civil War, the Union Army purchased almost 130,000 pieces of the M1860 percussion revolver, making it the most-used revolver in the conflict. Enterprising Confederate armories were quick to appropriate the design and produce the piece for Southern troops. The gun was a .44 caliber, six shot, front-loader that took linen or paper cartridges. This non-firing replica has the handling characteristics of the original, with functional lock and loading mechanisms.
