Antique DAVID F. CLARK/DAVID A. LYLE Inspected CAVALRY Model COLT SAA 7 ½”
1880 Dated DFC & DAL Inspected .45 Single Action Army
Here we present an antique Colt Cavalry Model Single Action Army Revolver, manufactured in 1880 in Hartford, Connecticut. 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’s 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.
This Colt Single Action Army Revolver features the 7-1/2 inch barrel of the cavalry model and it was inspected by David F. Clark. His initials may be observed on the bottom of the barrel, the cylinder, the frame, the right side of the grip in the cartouche, and the bottom of the grip on the right side. “P” proofed on the barrel and cylinder. The left side of the frame was stamped “U.S.” as the final acceptance mark. The left side of the grip is dated “1880” and the cartouche underneath bears the initials of David A. Lyle. The top of the barrel is marked “COLT’S PT.F.A. MFG. Co. HARTFORD, CT. U.S.A.” with the “O” in “Co.” having the double underscore. The left side of the frame is marked with patent dates in the years 1871, 1872 and 1875.
The overall condition is very good. Mostly plum patina throughout. Numbers match on the grip frame, trigger guard, frame, cylinder, and barrel. Excellent action. The bore is dim with strong rifling. Solid walnut grip.
