.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 1891. The accompanying factory letter states the revolver was shipped to Hartley & Graham of New York City on December 2, 1891 with a 7 1/2 inch barrel in .32-20 caliber, blue finish, and type of stocks not listed. This was a five gun shipment. 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 an encircled Rampant Colt. The loading gate has the assembly number "234." The matching serial number appears on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. Both grip panels have been renumbered to the gun. Included is an extremely rare period correct Colt SAA picture box. The end label confirms the 7 1/2 inch barrel in .32-20 caliber. The picture label on the lid features the side profile illustration of a black powder Colt SAA along with the period warning label reading, "The within revolver is not adapted for smokeless powder." The bottom of the box has a very faint serial number which matches the serial number on the gun ("142574"). The box is original to the gun. The interior of the lid has an Ideal Reloading Implements label. A cleaning rod and "Special Instructions" are also included. Provenance: The TTT Collection

Very fine. The barrel and ejector rod housing retain 80% original blue finish, the cylinder retains 85% original blue finish, and the grip straps retain 60% original blue finish with smooth brown patina and holster type wear on the balance. The frame 50% original case colors, and the hammer retains patterns of the muted original case colors. The replacement grips are fine with overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is very good with some glue repairs and a faded but legible picture label. These picture boxes are extremely rare and missing from even the most advanced Colt SAA collections. Don't miss your opportunity to acquire an exceptional black powder Colt SAA with its original picture box!
