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 and fitted with jeweled eyed relief carved steer head pearl grips. The accompanying factory letter states the revolver was sold to Bell & Bates Hardware (address unavailable) and shipped on March 24, 1925 to Belknap Hardware & Mfg. Co. of Louisville, Kentucky with a 7 1/2 inch barrel in .45 caliber, nickel finish, and type of stocks not listed. This was a single gun shipment on order number 21526/1.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 revolver wears a set of pearl grips featuring a jewel eyed relief steer head carved on the right panel.

Extremely fine, retaining 90% plus original nickel plating with flaking mostly contained to the cylinder. The grips are fine with a chip at the lower forward (right side), crisp carving, re-glued replaced ruby eye, and highly attractive fiery colors. Mechanically excellent. A nickel plated inter-war period Colt SAA with attractive relief carved pearl grips that displays nicely.
