Description:
.45 COLT Single Action Army PEACEMAKER Revolver 1st Gen C&R St. Louis, MO
c1904 mfr. 4 ¾” .45 Long Colt SAA 6-Shooter
Here we present a C&R First Generation Colt Single Action Army Revolver in .45 Long Colt, manufactured in 1904 in Hartford, Connecticut. This one went to the Simmons Hardware Company in 1904 along with 49 others per the archival letter. This one has a 4 ¾” barrel. 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 “First Generation” (c. 1873-1940) Colt Single Action Army reached 357,859.
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. Gray patina throughout. The action is excellent. The bore is clean with strong rifling. The numbers match. The grips show wear and use, and the left grip has been repaired.
