Manufactured in 1936 and assembled after World War II, this is an exceptional example of a First Generation Colt Single Action Army revolver. The standard single-line address is marked on the top of the barrel while the model and caliber marking is on the left. The standard two-line patent dates marking is on the left of the frame followed by the Rampant Colt, and "4/VP" is marked on the left of the trigger guard. The matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame, the right side of the trigger guard and back strap, and hand marked inside the right grip ("361"). The assembly number "147" is marked inside the loading gate. A Rampant Colt is stamped on the rear face of the post-war cylinder. It is fitted with a blade front sight, groove rear sight, and a pair of checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colts at the tops.

Exceptionally fine, retains 95% plus of the original blue finish with a few scattered light handling marks and a faint cylinder drag line, and 80% plus of the age-mellowed case colors remain with the balance having faded to a smooth grey patina. The grips are very fine with a few scattered light chips and handling marks and otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
