1897 mfg. Antique COLT “PEACEMAKER” Single Action Army .38-40 WCF Revolver

CLASSIC Late 19th Century .38 WCF Colt 6-Shooter 

Here Ancestry Guns presents an antique Colt Single Action Army Revolver, manufactured in 1897 in Hartford, Connecticut. 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 Colt Single Action Army reached 357,859. The production numbers for the .38 caliber reached just over 50,000, making this model the third most popular out there.

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.

The overall condition is good. Original dark gray and brown patinas. Robust action. The bore retains some shimmer, has a lightly frosted appearance with serviceable rifling. Markings are legible. Visible numbers match. “X X X” is marked on the left side of the barrel. Both grips ae solid and have been well handled showing smooth checkering.
