USFA “Frontier Six Shooter” Single Action Army – .44-40 WCF – E900 – Late Hartford Production
Offered here is an exceptional example of a United States Fire Arms Mfg. Co. Single Action Army revolver, finished in the classic blue configuration and chambered in the highly desirable
.44-40 Winchester (.44 WCF).
This revolver bears the coveted
“Frontier Six Shooter” barrel marking, historically reserved for Colt’s .44-40 chambering, and faithfully reproduced by USFA during their peak Hartford production years.

Collector Significance
This revolver comes from the
late “E-prefix” production series, widely regarded by collectors as the
finest revolvers USFA ever produced.
During this period:
- All parts were 100% U.S.-made in Hartford
- Fit, finish, and polish reached a level often considered equal to—or exceeding—modern Colt production
- Production numbers were limited, with only a few thousand revolvers bearing the E-prefix
The
.44-40 chambering combined with the Frontier Six Shooter marking represents one of the most historically correct and sought-after configurations—mirroring original 19th-century Colt production.
Nice-condition, late-production examples like this—especially in
.44-40—consistently command a
premium over typical USFA offerings
Why This One Stands Out
- Late E-prefix Hartford production (top-tier quality)
- Desirable .44-40 WCF chambering
- Correct “Frontier Six Shooter” rollmark Classic finish configuration
- Increasingly difficult to find in this condition
This is not a basic USFA—it represents the
final evolution of their SAA production, often considered the closest modern equivalent to a first-generation Colt.
Condition
Excellent overall condition with strong original finish. The revolver retains crisp markings, excellent mechanical function, and shows only light handling wear consistent with careful ownership.
