Listed here is a truly rare find: a Colt Civil War Centennial Model set, produced in 1961 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the American Civil War. This collectible set features two sequentially serialized .22 caliber revolvers, both in great condition for their age and beautifully presented in the original velvet-lined Colt display case.
 
The Centennial Models are a unique part of Colt’s history, offering a .22 caliber tribute to the iconic percussion revolvers that defined an era. Both firearms feature striking gold-tone frames, rich blued barrels and cylinders, and classic walnut grips. The fit and finish are a testament to Colt’s craftsmanship from this era. These revolvers are highly prized by collectors, and sequential pairs are especially tough to come by.
 
Condition-wise, both revolvers show only light handling marks consistent with careful storage over the decades. Mechanically, everything functions as it should. The display case also shows some age-related wear, but remains an attractive and authentic period presentation.
 
The photos show the exact firearms and case being offered. If you’re seeking a standout addition for your Colt or Civil War collection, this set is a wonderful candidate with all the charm and character of original 1961 factory production.
