Historical Background of the Commemoration
St. Louis and Its Bicentennial (1764–1964):
  • Founded in 1764 by Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, St. Louis was established as a fur trading post along the Mississippi River.
  • The city became a key location for westward expansion, river trade, and the Louisiana Purchase (1803).
  • By 1964, St. Louis was celebrating 200 years of historical and economic importance in the United States.
Colt’s Commemorative Firearms of the 1960s:
  • Colt produced several commemorative revolvers during the 1960s, marking key historical events such as the Civil War Centennial (1961–1965), the Appomattox Centennial (1965), and the Texas Sesquicentennial (1965).
  • The St. Louis Bicentennial model was part of this tradition, honoring the city’s legacy with a special Frontier Scout .22 revolver.
     
    Colt manufactured 3,250 units of the Colt Frontier Scout St. Louis Bicentennial revolver in 1964 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of St. Louis (1764–1964).
  • These limited-edition revolvers were part of Colt's commemorative series and are now considered collectible firearms due to their historical significance and relatively low production numbers.


The Colt Frontier Scout was born in 1957 and was made until 1970 when Colt carried on with their Peacemaker 22 and then later a “New Frontier Scout”. The Frontier Scout was scaled down slightly and was lighter than its bigger bore brother. This specific example is from 1959 according to Colt’s serial number lookup and also a giveaway is the “F” suffix at the end of the serial number.
