I ordered the Remington, as I already have a Colt and want to "diversify." I'm not sure if $199 is a screamin' deal on the Remmie but turns out I had enough club points to pay for it... so that's good! Happy Father's Day to me.
Do some more research.On doing some research, it appears the Navy model was exactly the same as the Army model.
The Colt Model 1860 Army was the Unions most purchased and issued revolver during the Civil War with over 127,156 acquired. Total production period ran from 1860 to 1873 for a total of 200,000 revolvers. It has a Rebated six shot cylinder roll engraved with the Naval Engagement scene.
Most 1860 Armies are found with the six shot rebated round cylinder with the roll scene that depicts the battle between the Texas Navy and the Mexico Navy.
