Antique Colt Black Powder Single Action Army Revolver

Manufactured in 1878, this example of the iconic Colt Single Action Army exudes the grim and grit of the revolver that has become synonymous with the American West. These revolvers became a western legends due to their widespread use by people of almost every walk of life on the frontier with this SAA having the appearance of just coming off the frontier after a lifetime of service. The top of the barrel is marked on the one-line Hartford address. The frame has the three-line patent dates marking on the left side. "45 CAL" is marked on the left side of the trigger guard. Matching full or partial serial numbers appear on the frame, trigger guard, back strap, barrel, and cylinder.

ConditionVery good displaying a gray patina associated with a well-traveled "frontier issued" sidearm with 25% of the original blue and patterns of the casehardened finishes in the protected areas, strongest blue around the trigger. The grip is very good and shows similar "working gun" character, exhibiting wear from spending a lifetime in the hand. Mechanically excellent. This is an iconic example of a black powder .45 LC Colt SAA with all the look of surviving the frontier.
