This highly sought after FIRST GEN Colt \"Pre-War/Post-War\" Single Action Army revolver was assembled after World War II using pre-war manufactured parts, and in 1948 was presented by Colt Vice President Benjamin Conner to a U.S. Ordnance Department official. According to \"Colt‚s Single Action Army Revolver Pre-War/Post-War Model\" by Don Wilkerson, there were only 338 pre-World War II manufactured Colt Single Action revolvers assembled after World War II, which comprise the group of revolvers referred to as Pre-War/Post-War by collectors. This revolver is one of only 162 produced in this configuration and one of only 41 Pre-War/Post-War Models presented or gifted by the Colt factory in 1948 . The revolver is well documented as one of two SAAs Colt Vice President Benjamin Conner presented to two U.S. Ordnance Department officials. The factory letter confirms the revolver was charged to “Arms Selling Expense", delivered to Vice President Benjamin Conner at the Hartford factory, and was for U.S. Ordnance Department official William Bonkmeyer. This was a two gun shipment dated May 26, 1948 with the revolver configuration listed as a 5 ½ inch barrel in .38 caliber with finish and type of stocks not listed. Additional confirmation comes from the included and rare original stock order shipping/packing list. In his accompanying 1978 dated letter noted Colt historian and author John Kopec provided additional details concerning the two SAAs: “The revolver #357,605 was given to William Bonkmeyer. " This two SAA is referenced in “A Study of the Colt Single Action Army Revolver" on page 189 with this revolver, no. 357605, pictured. This Pre-War/Post War SAA is certainly a well-documented piece of Colt history and a rare opportunity to acquire a historical presentation Colt. The barrel is marked with the one-line Hartford address on top and \"COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY 38 SPECIAL\" on the left side. The left side of the frame has the two-line patent dates marking followed by a Rampant Colt. The left side of the trigger guard has the Colt factory triangle proof and \"F,\" indicating it was assembled by Colt Master Gunsmith Harry St. John. The matching assembly number “322" appears on the loading gate and rear of the frame. The matching full serial number appears on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. The matching partial serial number “05" is stamped on the rear face of the cylinder. The original Colt box is numbered to the gun. Also includes the original test target and bore brush. The receiver is case colored.
This is the 2nd most valuable Colt SAA in the Simmons extensive inventory of Colt SAA‚s.***THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THING ABOUT THIS FIREARM IS THAT (OTHER THAN THE TESTFIRES AT THE FACTORY) IT IS UNFIRED & LIKE NEW.
