LETTERED Antique BLACK POWDER Colt SAA in .44-40
TEXAS SHIPPED .44 WCF Single Action Army Revolver!
Here we present an antique Black Powder Frame Colt Single Action Army, made in 1884 in Hartford, Connecticut. The Colt Single Action Army was introduced in 1873 and has become one of the most iconic firearms in all of history, thanks to its widespread use by the U.S. military, civilians and, more recently, in Western films. The letter indicates it was 1 of 8 in this configuration shipped to Newton & Andrews in El Paso, Texas, on September 12, 1884.
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.
The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces have a gray patina. The markings are clear. The serial numbers match. The Colt trademarked hard rubber grips are worn smooth and are a bit chipped with use. The bore is clean with strong rifling. The action is excellent, strong and crisp.
