Description:
Here is an antique Colt Single Action Army, made in 1878, in Hartford, Connecticut.
This Colt SAA comes with Colt factory archive letter, stating that it was shipped to Hartley and Graham, New York, New York, on May 11, 1880 in a shipment of 50 like arms. The letter confirms that it was shipped with factory blued finish. Stocks and Barrel length not specified, but usually indicates 7 1/2" Barrel with Wood stocks. This revolver has the Colt Black Powder frame that preceded the more modern “smokeless” frame. The revolver is chambered for .45 Colt, the venerable man-stopping cartridge adopted by the U.S. military in the late 19th Century. The top of the barrel reads “COLT’S PT.F.A.MFG.CO./HARTFORD, CT U.S.A.” The left side of the frame is marked “PAT.SEPT.19.1871/JULY 2.72. JAN 19.75”. The left side the trigger guard is marked “45 CAL”.
The overall condition is grey/brown patina finish. Has a few small marks in metal finish. Markings are clear and legible. All serial numbers match, including the cylinder, which bears the last 4 digits "0386", of the serial number. The walnut grip is in very good condition, showing handling marks and some sharp edge wear. The bore is well-rifled and clean, showing some very fine pitting. The action is strong and indexes properly.Buyer Pays $25.00 shipping to the lower 48 states. International shipping varies as to location. I accept USPS Money Orders or Bank Cashier's Check. Will accept Personal check, with shipping hold. Layaway Available! Three day non-firing, non-disassembly inspection period. If returned, for any reason, full refund less shipping. ANTIQUE
