Description:
A very early, hard to find 1874 made, civilian Colt .45 Single Action revolver. This revolver is in good-to-very good condition, showing un-abused wear and use consistent to a 140-year-old gun. The gun has all the features of an early SAA including the Italicized single line barrel address. All the numbers match and all the parts are original with the exception of a period replaced front sight, replaced walnut grips, and a few screws. All the markings are good, the mechanics are good, and bore is very good. The gun shows some old cold blue being applied that has mostly turned a plumb brown color. There is some minor surface erosion in a few areas and some knackering on the barrel – nothing serious. It looks like the barrel knackering may have been caused by it being used to tighten barb wire. That could have knocked off the front sight, requiring it to be replaced as well. The walnut grips are very good old replacements that are fitted perfectly to this gun. Colt produced 11,500 revolvers in 1874 (serial numbers 3500-15,000) of which 1552 went to the U. S. Civilian market. This is one of those guns, serial #10XXX, shipped to H & D Folsom Arms Co. on August 3, 1874. There were 13 guns in this shipment, per factory letter – included. All in all, it’s a very nice example of an extremely early civilian SAA showing western use and wear. For domestic sale only.
