ST. LOUIS Antique COLT Single Action Army Revolver
Lettered to Simmons Hardware in St. Louis, MO
Here we present an antique Colt Single Action Army Revolver with Stag Grips, manufactured in 1883 in Hartford, Connecticut. According to the Colt Factory Letter, this piece was shipped on April 24, 1883 along with 49 others to Simmons Hardware Company in St. Louis, Missouri. Though Colt enjoyed the largest contracts of any handgun maker during the American Civil War, it had to rely on its array of percussion fired revolvers, namely the 1860 Army until the Smith & Wesson owned Rollin White Patent expired in 1869. This enabled them to begin making revolvers with completely bored through cylinder chambers in order to utilize modern metallic cartridge ammunition in the most effective manner. In 1869, Colt’s began development of a suitable cartridge revolver in earnest, first coming out with a number of conversions for their percussion lines, until 1872 when they debuted what was to become the Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army in the 1872 U.S. Trials. Needless to say, it won, and became the Army’s revolver of choice. It also became the sidearm of choice for many others like cowboys, guards, lawmen, crooks, shopkeepers and all manner of civilians.
This Colt SAA features handsome stag grips and a later nickel finish. The left side of the frame is marked with patent dates in the years 1871, 1872 and 1875. The trigger guard is marked “45 CAL”.
The overall condition is fine. The metal surfaces have been refinished and the nickel finish is virtually complete. The markings are partially legible. The serial numbers match. The stag grips are in fine shape. The bore is in very good shape with strong rifling. The action on this revolver is excellent.
