Description:
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 is $90.00 for Express Shipping to most locations, plus a $20.00 Bank Wire Fee.
