Manufactured in 1899, this is a solid representative example of the iconic Colt Single Action Army revolver. The Single Action Army is considered one of the legendary firearms of the Western Frontier and has truly become a globally recognizable piece of Americana. Colt's Single Action Army was one of the most prolific sidearms during the late 19th century, when the "west was won", and continued its popularity in the region well into the 20th century, riding its reputation for simplicity and rugged dependability. This example is marked with the standard one-line address on top of the barrel and the caliber marking on the left. The left side of the frame is marked with the two-line patent dates, followed by the circled Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. The assembly number "661" is marked inside the loading gate. It is fitted with the standard blade front and frame-top groove rear sight, as well as a pair of checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colts at the tops (unnumbered).

Fine, retains 40% plus of the original blue finish and 25% of the original case colors with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina in the form of mild handling/holster wear, typical of a frontier sidearm. The grips are also fine with a few light handling marks and some mild handling wear. Mechanically excellent. A standard configuration Colt Single Action Army that certainly looks like it may have seen the American West!
