Description:

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 an attractive example of the legendary Peacemaker chambered in the iconic .45 LC caliber. The accompanying factory letter states the revolver was shipped on February 24, 1906 to Van Camp Hardware & Iron Co. of Indianapolis, Indiana, with a 5 1/2 inch barrel in .45 caliber, blue finish, and type of stocks not listed. This was a two gun shipment. The barrel has the 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 followed by an circled Rampant Colt, and the left side of the trigger guard has the Colt factory triangle proof and the number "5." Matching serial numbers appear on the frame, trigger guard, back strap and both grip panels. Provenance: The TTT Collection

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 80% original blue finish with thinning to brown on the balance. The hammer and frame retain 70% original case colors. The grips are excellent with minimal handling marks and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
