4-3/4” Antique COLT “PEACEMAKER” SAA .38-40 WCF BLACK POWDER Frame Revolver
WILD WEST .38 WCF Colt 6-Shooter Made in 1892!
Here we present an antique Colt Single Action Army Revolver, manufactured in 1892 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 Colt Single Action Army reached 357,859. The production numbers for the .38 caliber reached just over 50,000, making this model the third most popular out there.
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.
The 4-3/4 inch barrel is said to have been preferred by those who considered themselves “gunfighters”.
The overall condition is very good. The action is strong. Great lockup. The bore is in good condition with good rifling. The finish has matured to a pleasing gray patina. The original hard rubber trademarked grips have been worn smooth with wear from hand and holster. Who knows how many times this revolver came in and out of the holster and how many miles it traveled to get this way. A true piece of history that has survived to this day in fantastic condition!
