Manufactured in 1922. This is a very beautiful representative example of the legendary Peacemaker chambered in the iconic .45 LC caliber wearing a set of highly attractive period Colt medallion diamond checkered walnut grips. The accompanying factory letter states the revolver was shipped on November 27, 1922 to Janney, Semple, Hill & Co. of Minneapolis, Minnesota, with a 5 1/2 inch barrel in .45 caliber, blue finish and type of stocks not listed. This was a single gun shipment. The barrel has the standard one-line Hartford address on top and "45 COLT" on the left side. The left side of the frame has the two-line patent dates marking followed by a Rampant Colt. The matching serial number appears on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. The matching last two digits of the serial number "59" appear on the back of the cylinder. Matching assembly number "838" is found on the loading gate and rear of the frame. The Colt Single Action Army Revolver is arguably the most iconic American handgun. In the hands of ranchers, cavalrymen, Native Americans, lawmen, and outlaws, the Peacemaker’s legacy was forged out in the hostile American West and continues to gain popularity among today's collectors. This example will certainly make a statement in any SAA or American firearms collection.

Excellent, retaining 95% plus original blue finish with some thinning on the grip straps, a cylinder drag line, and scattered light edge wear. The hammer and frame retain 97% original vivid case colors. The period replacement factory pattern grips are very fine with an impression near the bottom on the left panel, otherwise a few handling marks and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. A fabulous example of a pre-war Colt SAA well deserving of the finest collection.
