Here we present an antique Colt Single Action Army Revolver Artillery Model, with the frame 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". This artillery features matching numbers on the frame, trigger guard, and grip frame (56814) that dates to a Colt Cavalry model made in 1880. The barrel (9115) and cylinder (2436) differ. The frame bears faint “D.F.C.” inspector initials for David F. Clark. The barrel is “P” proofed and marked “A” for O.W. Ainsworth, inspector. The overall condition is very good. Armory refinished during the period. Excellent action with tight lockup. Bright bore with very nice rifling. Good walnut grip that was refinished and is a bit shy to the grip frame. A very nice Colt Artillery SAA from the late-19th Century! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 5-1/2 inch. Caliber: .45 Colt Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $5635 #210494 SOLD Antique: Yes |
