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 a highly attractive example of the legendary Peacemaker chambered in the iconic .45 LC caliber that was manufactured in 1924 along with its original Colt factory box. The factory letter indicates the revolver appears in shipping records in .45 caliber with a 5 1/2 inch barrel, blue finish, and rubber grips and indicates it was the sole gun of this type in a shipment to Von Lengerke & Detmold in New York City on September 18, 1925. 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 a Rampant Colt, and the left side of the trigger guard has the Colt factory triangle proof and the number "3." The revolver is fitted with a highly attractive custom burled walnut one-piece grip. Matching serial numbers appear on the frame, trigger guard, back strap, and cylinder ("26"). The matching Colt factory box is numbered to the gun. Includes a set of reproduction checkered hard rubber grips with a Rampant Colt at the top.

Excellent, retaining 97% original blue finish with some light surface oxidation visible on the back strap, a light cylinder drag line, and a slight ding on the front sight. The hammer and frame also retain 97% vivid original case colors. The custom grip is very fine with limited handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine. A very attractive First Generation Colt Single Action Army revolver with original box.
