1878 Antique COLT 45 Black Powder Frame SINGLE ACTION ARMY Revolver SAA
EARLY PRODUCTION Peacemaker Made in 1878!
Here we present an antique Colt Black Powder Frame Single Action Army Revolver in .45 Colt, manufactured in 1878 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.
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 overall condition is good+. The action is strong and tight with all 4 clicks. The bore is in good condition with strong rifling. The finish has matured to a smooth and pleasing gray patina. The walnut grips are in great shape. “SCM” is stamped on the bottom of the grip. Someone obviously loved and cared for this gun. It was certainly used but remains in great condition today. Here is your chance to own a very early Colt Single Action Army!
