Description:

Manufactured in 1959, this is an excellent example of two consecutively serialized early Second Generation Single Action Armies. The accompanying Colt factory order #9555 for two Colt Single Action Army revolvers verifies the back strap engraving, caliber, barrel length, nickel finish and consecutively serial numbering of this lot. The barrel has the one line address marked on the top and "COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .45" marked on the left side. The left side of the frame is marked with the two line, three patent date marking with an un-circled Rampant Colt. The trigger guard has the Colt "VP" triangle proof and letter "P" marked on the left side and the number "5" on the right side. Matching numbers on the frame and under the grip on the left side of the front and back straps. The back strap is factory engraved with the name "KEN SCHEIBEL". Fitted with smooth two-piece pearl grips featuring silver Colt medallions. Complete with the original black hinged lid box numbered to the gun, original waxed paper and papers.

Excellent with 98% original nickel finish. The revolver has a few slight handling marks. The cylinder shows a faint drag line. The grips are also excellent with virtually no signs of wear and the grip screw protrudes very slightly. The box is good with a separated lid flap, (in the box).
