First Generation COLT “Bisley” SINGLE ACTION ARMY .38 Cal. WCF C&R Revolver
NICKEL PLATED SAA in .38-40 WCF Manufactured in 1906
Here we present a C&R Colt Bisley Model Single Action Army Revolver in .38 WCF, manufactured in Hartford, Connecticut in 1906. 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. These revolvers made excellent companions to rifles at the time as they were chambered for the same ammunition, meaning that the user only had to keep one type to feed both guns.
This is an example of the Bisley variant of the Colt Single Action Army revolver. The primary differences were a lower hammer spur and a more curvaceous grip frame. These were optimized toward target shooting but many general users and shooters who were not simply target shooters preferred them as well.
The overall condition is very good. Refinished in nickel. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The trademarked grips are solid.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
Barrel is 4-3/4 inches.
Caliber: .38-40 Winchester Center Fire
