1900 TEXAS Lettered COLT SAA in .38-40 WCF C&R
With Nice Hand-Tooled Holster!
Here we present a First Generation Colt Single Action Army Revolver in .38-40 WCF, manufactured in 1900 in Hartford, Connecticut. The Colt “Peacemaker” 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. Total production numbers for the “First Generation” (c. 1873-1940) Colt Single Action Army reached 357,859. These continued to be relied upon as well as “hot-rodded” by the likes of Elmer Keith, Skeeter Skelton, many other lawmen and gun writers of the time.
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 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.
Also included is an Alamo Leather Goods Co. holster and a copy (seller no longer had the original) of a factory letter that confirms the barrel length and caliber, blue finish, and shipped to Will R. Allen of Dallas, Texas, on November 6, 1900.
The overall condition is good. The barrel wears its original patina while the other parts have been significantly buffed. The original markings are visible on the barrel and the number on the bottom of the frame. The other markings have been re-stamped. The grips are in very good condition. The bore is dark with good rifling. The action is strong. The holster is near fine.
