LETTERED c1879 mfrd. NY SHIPPED Antique BLACK POWDER Colt SAA in .44-40 WCF Frontier Six-Shooter Etched Panel
Description: LETTERED c1879 mfrd. NY SHIPPED Antique BLACK POWDER Colt SAA in .44-40 WCF Frontier Six-Shooter Etched Panel Here we present an antique Black Powder Frame Frontier Six-Shooter Colt Single Action Army Revolver, made in 1879 in Hartford, Connecticut. Per the accompanying factory archive letter, it was shipped to Schoverling, Daly & Gales, a retailer in New York March 8, 1879. The Colt Single Action Army 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’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. 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. Gray patina throughout with tiny traces of the original nickel finish. The markings are clear. The serial numbers match. The action is strong and holds all the notches and has all 4 clicks. The trigger pull is a bit light. The cylinder indexes and locks up well. The bore is in very good condition with strong rifling. The walnut grip shows use and remains solid. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 7-1/2 inches. Caliber: .44-40 WCF Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $6495 #228293 SOLD Antique: Yes |
