Our Assessment: This is a handsome cased matched pair of Colt U.S. Cavalry Commemorative 1860 Army percussion revolvers, produced for the 1777-1977 bicentennial commemoration. The pair is especially appealing with matching commemorative serial numbering, 8" barrels, vivid case coloring, high-polish blue, brass grip frames, and the included shoulder stock. These sets capture the romance of the mounted cavalry era while retaining the quality and presentation value Colt collectors expect from 2nd Generation commemorative percussion arms.

Condition is the major strength here. Both revolvers remain in Like New condition with 99+% finish, excellent grips, sharp markings, and an attractive fitted case with accessories. For the Colt commemorative collector, black powder enthusiast, or Western arms display, this set offers strong eye appeal, completeness, and a very desirable factory presentation.
