The Colt SAA is pretty hard to beat in the looks department, especially when engraved and silver plated, with ivory stocks with steerheads and jeweled eyes.
In cap and ball sixguns, to me the 1861 Navy is tops in the looks department. I like the looks of the creeping loading lever better than the earlier types. The '61 Navy has a more streamlined look than the '51 and is also more svelte and balanced looking than the '60 Army. Col. Quantrill supposedly carried a '60 Army not widely released, that had the Navy frame, a 7 1/2" barrel like a Navy as opposed to the 8" Army barrel, and a fluted cylinder. Probably the best looking cap and ball gun I've ever seen.
