Colt Model 1860 Army Revolver with Crescent Moon Grip Inlay and Original Slim Jim Holster An attractive Colt Model 1860 Army revolver in .44 caliber, accompanied by its original tooled leather Slim Jim holster. The barrel, frame, trigger guard, and backstrap bear matching serial number 164757. The cylinder carries the separate marking “COLT’S PATENT” The steel surfaces exhibit a rich dark brown patina, while the brass trigger guard has a pleasing mustard-yellow tone. The backstrap retains silver plating, with scattered areas of wear exposing the aged brass beneath. The frame is marked “COLT’S PATENT,” and the left side of the trigger guard bears the caliber designation “44 CAL.” A distinctive crescent moon inlay of silver-plated brass remains on the left side of the wooden grip, with much of its plating worn away. The right grip has a corresponding crescent-shaped recess where a second inlay is now missing. The action is reported to function properly, with a tight spring and an intact creeping loading lever described as operating smoothly. The accompanying flapless Slim Jim holster is made of black leather, with age-related surface flaking near the upper edge revealing brown leather beneath. Its closed toe incorporates a stitched teardrop-shaped leather plug. Decorative tooling includes repeating triangles and starbursts within circles, lending additional character to the ensemble. A compelling revolver-and-holster pairing, distinguished by its crescent moon grip embellishment, matching principal numbered components, and decorated leather holster.
