Description:
Antique ARTILLERY Model COLT US SINGLE ACTION ARMY .45 Caliber Revolver
Spanish-American War Period with Tooled Holster Rig!
Here we present an antique Colt US Artillery Model Single Action Army Revolver in .45 Colt, with the frame originally made in 1880. The Colt Single Action Army, or SAA, is a classic “six-shooter” that is a worldwide icon of the United States of America and the Western Frontier. Wielded by both the worst of men and the best, the famous Single Action Army is also well-known as the Peacemaker. Introduced in 1873, the basic design remained, with a few interruptions, in production and is still manufactured today by Colt and other companies.
The Artillery or Springfield Armory Model of the SAA is a period (1895-1903) armory or factory refinished gun to extend U.S. military service. Only about 17,000 of these refurbished guns were completed. In all but the rarest variant of the already rare Artillery Model, the serial numbers will be mixed. U.S. military purchased SAAs are among the most sought after historic sidearms of the era, having been used in action in the Spanish-American War and the Philippine-American War by the U.S. Army. They were originally issued with 7½" barrels in .45 Colt. Most of these guns, as this one is, had the barrels shortened to 5½".
The left side of the frame is marked “US”. The cylinder and frame are marked “D.F.C.” for Sub-Ordnance Inspector David F. Clark. The bottom of the left grip is marked “R.A.C.”, the inspection mark of Rinaldo A. Carr. This one comes in a holster rig marked “AMERICAN SALES & MFG. LAREDO TEX.” and “HAND-CRAFTED MADE IN USA”. It will fit about a 32-34 pant size.
The overall condition is very good+. The action is excellent. Lockup is superb. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The grips are in great shape. The blue finish is maturing to a smooth dark gray patina. The holster rig is in great condition. Here is a US marked Colt Single Action Army Artillery Model that’s in fantastic shape with history from the Indian Wars, Spanish-American War, Philippine-American War & beyond!
