Fluted 1860 Colt Army Confederate Pistol

With the 150th anniversary of the Civil War almost upon us, here is an original Colt 1860 Army with a fluted cylinder that was shipped to Georgia in December 1860 just before the start of the Civil War (or as my Confederate great-grandfather called it, The War Between the States).
I was going to post this in the Colt forum, but I think it may have more interest here.
Here is the link with full info. You must see the pic of the Confederate soldier holding his shiny new fluted cylinder 1860 Colt:

You're welcome. Makes me wonder if my great-grandfather who lived in what is now West Virginia, and joined Capt. Beckett's Cavalry, Co. C, 36th Virginia, C.S.A. in 1861, carried one of these pistols.
