Description:
The Colt Single Action Army, also known as the Peacemaker, is one of the most popular firearms of all time and has been so since its introduction in 1873. It was built to replace the many cartridge conversion revolvers that were prevalent in the post-Civil War period. Many people owned a Colt 1851 Navy or 1860 Army cap-and-ball revolver that had been converted to shoot one of the new rimfire cartridges that became immediately available after the civil war such as the .38 rimfire and.44 rimfire. When the SAA was introduced, it changed everything. It featured the addition of a top strap in the frame for increased strength, an 1851 Navy grip, the manual ejector rod found on the previous M1871-72 open top revolvers, and most importantly, the ability to shoot centerfire ammunition. The addition of a top strap allowed the SAA to continue production after the introduction of smokeless powder in the 1880s. The SAA, available in variety of sub-models, was popular with lawmen, ranchers, bandits, and soldiers. The SAA chambered for over 30 different cartridges, for which the .45 was the most well-known, alongside the popular .44-40, .38-40, .32-20, and many others. The first generation of the SAA was produced between 1873 and 1940 when production stopped due to the need to produce M1911A1 pistols in greater numbers for use by the U.S. military. The Bisley sub-model was introduced in 1894 and produced until 1915. Up to 44,350 were made. Surprisingly, of the 16 or 17 available chamberings, ranging from the .32 Colt to the .455 Eley, the .32-20 Winchester was the most common chambering with 13,291 produced with the standard frame compared to 8005 for the .45 Colt on the same frame. The pistol appears to have much of its original finish. This is unusual for any SAA. The frame and barrel do not have the polish marks that are found on pistols that have been re-blued, and the markings do have a “wiped” appearance to them. The opening parenthesis and the lower portion of the “B” in “Bisley” do not appear to have been stamped correctly at the factory which is a common issue found with many Bisley Models with this particular stamp. The barrel exhibits holster wear and a small amount of pitting below “Bisley Model”. There is some finish loss on the bottom of the trigger guard, the front strap and the back strap. The cylinder naturally has a turn ring and exhibits some holster wear as well. One cylinder flute has a couple of spots of light pitting, but these are very small. The case hardening on the frame is faded in some spots, and very bright in others. There are some light patches of pitting in certain spots. Mechanically the pistol is in perfect shape with four distinct clicks when the hammer is cocked. The bore is in excellent shape for its age, with only a few spots of micro pitting here and there, and would be accurate. The pistol has been fitted with custom stage grips. The grips do fit well enough for shooting but there are some minor gaps which are shown in the pictures. According to the Colt serial number database, this SAA was produced in 1903, making this Bisley 117 years old.
