Thank's.
I will try to translate what the seller has written:
Her er en ekte Colt 44 caliber army model 1860. Denne har serienummer 86 685 og er laget i borgerkrigsåret 1862. Denne er "military contract" med uthakk for kolbe. Den har army inspector merker også, så denne har nok sett litt action. Ellers fremstår den i noe sliten stand. Grepene er pusset eller byttet. Det er bra spor av gammel pitting som er pusset over. Den er så langt jeg kan se nummerlik. Skriften synes fortsatt på løpet " adress saml colt new york us america" Den fungerer helt fint mekanisk. Og det er "the real deal Colt 44."
Here is a real Colt 44 cal army model 1860, with serial nr xxxxxxxxx and was made in 1862, this is a militaria contract, wich you can put on a shoulderstock on. Army Inspector mark, and has possible seen some action.
Other, it is little tired condition. The grips are mabye original, or they have been fixed up, there is a pitting how has been fixed up, and so fare i can see it has a nr like. The words on the barrel is readable, mekanic it works fine, but the fit between barrel and frame is little loose.
As you say'd, it mabye be a relic, but with the real proper work from a specialist it mabye turn out good, i will take a tripp to Oslo, and look at it, it is better that way, i mabye bying cat in the dark room, if i don't see it first.
Many Thanks Pal's
