BLACK POWDER Antique COLT SAA in .38-40 WCF
Great Gun Made in 1898
Here we present an antique Colt Single Action Army, made in 1898, in Hartford, Connecticut. The Colt SAA has become one of the most iconic firearms in history, especially with regards to the American West in film. 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.
Winchester made the .38-40 the second chambering offered for their Model 1873 lever gun in 1879. Colt didn’t get around to chambering it in their revolvers until 1884. The .38 WCF was the Colt SAA’s third most popular chambering among the 1873-1941 period of production.
The overall condition is near fine. The nickel finish was added after it left the factory. The markings are clear. The numbers match. The Colt trademarked hard rubber grips are in very good condition. The bore is clean with strong rifling. The action is excellent, strong and crisp.
This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
