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

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. Offered here is a very attractive example of the legendary Peacemaker chambered in the iconic .45 LC caliber. The accompanying Colt factory letter dated April 3, 1963 states the revolver was shipped to William H. Hoegee Co. of Los Angeles, California, on March 16, 1929 with a 7 1/2 inch barrel in .45 caliber, blue finish, and hard rubber grips. 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 letter "J" is stamped above the frame serial number. The matching serial number appears on the frame, trigger guard, back strap, and both grip panels. The matching last two digits of the serial number "63" appear on the back of the cylinder. The assembly number "962" is marked on the loading gate and back of the frame. With a custom display case.

ConditionVery fine, retaining 80% original blue finish with high edge wear, cylinder drag line, and grip straps thinning to a brown. The frame and hammer retain 85% original case colors. The grips are excellent with a few minor handling marks and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
