Description: Antique “COLT 45” PEACEMAKER Black Powder Frame Single Action ARMY wHOLSTER SAA Manufactured in 1884 w/HEISER LEATHER HOLSTER Here we present an antique Colt Black Powder Frame Single Action Army Revolver, manufactured in 1884 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. 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 patina throughout. The action has all four clicks and holds all three positions. The cylinder locks up tight. The bore is in very good condition, bright with strong rifling. The rampant Colt trademark grips show use and remain solid. Numbers match on the frame, trigger guard and grip frame. Comes in a fine hand tooled holster made by “H.H. HEISER MAKER DENVER, COLORADO” and the numbers 7552. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 5-1/2 inches.
