The Colt Armory is a historic factory complex for the manufacture of firearms, created by Samuel Colt. It is located in Hartford, Connecticut along the Connecticut River. The armory was built on a 260-acre site beginning in 1855. Colt's mansion Armsmear was constructed the following year on a hill overlooking the armory. Shortly afterwards Colt added 20 family houses (10 of which survived) for skilled workers. Colt's 1855 East Armory was almost totally destroyed by a disastrous fire in 1864, only two small outbuildings remain of this original construction the Forge and the Foundry. This is an authentic American percussion revolver that was most likely used during the American Civil War. Ref 2059.
