1876 mfr. LETTERED Antique .45 COLT Single Action Army Revolver IVORY GRIP
Black Powder Frame SAA
Here we present an antique Factory Lettered Colt Black Powder Frame Single Action Army Revolver with Ivory Grip, manufactured in 1876 in Hartford, Connecticut. This one was shipped to J.P. Moore of New York, one of the leading Colt agents and dealers, and from there…it looks like it was used quite a bit! The ivory grip came after it left the factory, and this was an understandably common upgrade made by many of the day.
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. Dark, weathered patina. Solid antique ivory grip. Numbers match. Excellent action. The bore retains some shimmer with serviceable rifling. Ejector rod & spring are replacements.
