Description:

.32-20 WCF was a very popular caliber in the first generation SAA line. As author Dan Brown put it, "The .32-20 WCF cartridge had good range and accuracy. It is very easy to shoot, as it does not make the revolver buck as the larger calibers do. It also was used as a companion to the Winchester rifle of the .32-20 WCF caliber" ("The 36 Calibers of the Colt Single Action Army," page 190). This .32-20 WCF Peacemaker was manufactured in 1914. The barrel has the one-line Colt Hartford address on top and "32 W.C.F." on the left side. The frame has the two-line patent dates marking followed by a Rampant Colt. Matching assembly number "503" is on the rear of the frame and loading gate. The matching serial number appears on the frame, trigger guard, back strap, and both grip panels. The factory box is numbered to the gun and features a correct factory end label confirming configuration (7 1/2 inch barrel in .32-20 caliber, blue finish, hard rubber stocks).

Rating Definition:

Fine, displaying the authentic and attractive rustic appearance of a Peacemaker that has spent a lifetime of service in a challenging environment with 60% original blue finish and 50% original case colors remaining. The grips are also fine with some handling marks and some softened checkering. The box very good with separation on the corners of lid. Mechanically excellent. This is a Colt SAA that has a story to tell!
