Description:

The Colt Single Action Army in .44-40 was named the "Frontier Six Shooter", after J.P. Moore's Sons ordered some in 1878. Single actions in .44-40 were particularly desirable in the West because they could use the same ammunition as the popular Winchester Model 1873 rifles and carbines. Since then the .44-40 WCF Single Action Army has found a special place in the hearts of Peacemaker collectors. This high condition example of the classic pre-war Colt "Frontier Six Shooter" Single Action Army made it out West as it was shipped to California in 1914. Few firearms are more deeply associated with the American West than the Colt Single Action Army! The included factory letter states the revolver was shipped to Schaw & Batcher Co. of Sacramento, California, on March 4, 1914, with a 5 1/2 inch barrel in .44-40 caliber, blue finish, and stocks not listed. This was a single gun shipment. The barrel has the iconic "COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER" marking stamped on the left side and the one-line Hartford address marked on top. The left side of the frame has the two-line patent date marking followed by a Rampant Colt. The left side of the trigger guard has the Colt factory triangle proof and the number "1." Matching serial numbers appear on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. The revolver wears a set of Rampant Colt medallion pearl grips. Provenance: The TTT Collection

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 95% original blue finish with thinning on the grip straps, cylinder drag lines, and some scattered high edge wear. 90% plus original case colors remain on the hammer and frame. The grips are also excellent with minimal handling marks and attractive color. Mechanically excellent. An attractive Colt Frontier Six Shooter Single Action Army revolver that was shipped to a Sacramento, California, establishment.
