Documented Browning Brothers Shipped Colt First Generation Single Action Army Revolver with Factory Letter

Manufactured in 1920, this revolver was shipped to Browning Brothers on 15 September. The Browning Brothers firm was founded in Ogden, Utah in 1878 by brothers Matthew Sandefur Browning and the legendary John Moses Browning, who designed a plethora of iconic firearms around the turn of the century, and the Browning business remains in operation to this day. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration (grips not listed), as well as the shipping information listed above. The barrel has the standard single-line address on top and the caliber marking on the left. The standard two-line patent date is on the left of the frame followed by the Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is on the bottom of the frame, the left side of the trigger guard and back strap, and scratched by hand inside the right grip panel. "RWP" is scratched inside the matching left grip panel. It is fitted with a blade front sight, a grooved rear sight, and a pair of checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colts at the tops.

ConditionVery fine, retains 75% plus of the original blue finish and 60% plus of the original case colors with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina, primarily on high spots and the grip straps, and a cylinder drag line. The grips are also very fine with a few scattered light handling marks, light handling wear, and well-defined checkering. Mechanically excellent.
