Description:
ONE OF THE BEST U.S. ISSUED ARTILLERY SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVERS I’VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME! This example is typical of the mixed number alteration/refinishing done before re-issue with 5 ½” barrel. I have gone over each part of this revolver while researching in the Kopek books on the Single Action and everything appears to check out as it should. I am always cautious about any U.S. marked SAA and this one looks to be a gem. Also, it surfaced here in Montana at a small local and not at a gun show. The frame is a mottled gray with some case colors in the most protected areas in front of the cylinder and inside the loading gate. It is clearly stamped with the “R.A.C.” (Renaldo A. Carr) inspector stamp by the serial number of 136XXX. Screws in the frame are excellent. The cylinder shows a clear “P” and “H.N.” inspector stamp with a faint, partial serial number on the side while the rear face of the cylinder has the “O.C.A.” and “K” inspector stamps. The hammer is the correct early style. The back strap is numbered 132XXX and retains nice blue on the upper section behind the hammer and on the butt. The trigger guard has the same matching number as the back strap with a light "K" stamping. The ejector housing shows gray holster wear on the outside rounded edge with the balance showing exc. blue along with fine blue on the ejector housing screw. The barrel shows most of the deep blue with only some very light wear to the muzzle on the left side and some very minor thinning also on the left side. Removing the cylinder pin (which is in particularly excellent condition with nice deep blue overall), reveals a sharp “P” stamp over a weak original “J.T.C.” (John T. Cleveland) inspector stamp. This is because the barrel, as most parts on Artillery Models, were refinished by either Colt or Springfield Arsenal before reissue. The barrel address on top is good and there is sharp, beautiful “feathering” on each side of the front sight- this is important as an outside or later refinish would not have this (d not show up in photo, but the feathering is excellent). The one piece walnut grips fit beautifully, show only very light handling and are stamped “R.A.C.” on the bottom of each panel. The action is tight with four clicks to the hammer and an excellent bore! Just enough wear to show it was used, but about as nice as one could hope to find.
