FR18602) pairs an 8″ blued round barrel with a color case hardened steel frame, a brass guard, and walnut grips for the classic look of the revolver that armed much of the Union cavalry. Hammer/blade sights and a six-round capacity keep this cap-and-ball six-shooter true to the original 1860 pattern.
