Nice Colt Bisley, birdie! They are scarce as far as I remember (Old West guns is not my field of collecting).
And I enjoyed the Army 1860 too. You gotta love the "cartouche" in the grip, with the Army inspector proof.
Congratulations.

I love both of them specially the 1860

What's the story on the cartouche on the right side of the grip? On all the ones I have ever seen both cartouches looked the same as the one on the left side of the grip, but with different initials in them. The one on your gun is a very different style altogether. Have you ever researched this to find out what it is?

Colt 1860

I believe this is a Civil War factory refurb.... per the serial 3ers barrel assembly is mismatch..

Bisley Cal

The Bisley is a .38..........from what I recall the man. date is 1900....Both guns are in operable very good condition..working on the prices now...........

Man oh man...never seen a Colt 1860 personally WITH any cartouche...or any 1860 in that sort of condition! You've a real treasure there, my friend!
