Manufactured in 1957, this is an excellent example of an early in the second generation production Colt Single Action Army revolver. The top of the barrel is marked with the standard one-line address, while the model and caliber marking are on the left. The left side of the frame is marked with the two-line patent dates followed by the Rampant Colt. The trigger guard is marked with "VP", "J", and "P". The matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame, left of the trigger guard and back strap under the grip panel, and hand scratched on the inside of both grip panels. The loading gate has the assembly number "968". It has standard features including a pair of checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colts at the tops. Unfortunately, there are no factory shipping records available for this SAA. Includes the original Colt black box.

Excellent, retains 98% plus of the original blue finish and vibrant case colors with some very light edge wear, the slightest handling evidence, and cylinder rotation marks. The grips are also excellent with only the slightest handling evidence and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine with one corner of the lid separated and a couple corners with wear.
