Manufactured in 1959, this is a very nice example of an early Second Generation Single Action Army. One line address on top of the barrel, the left side marked "COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .44 SPECIAL". The left side of the frame is marked with the two line, three patent date marking followed by the un-circled Rampant Colt. The left front of the trigger guard is marked with the Colt "VP" triangle proof, the rear is marked "P" and the right front is marked with a "5". The matching serial number is marked on the frame and under the grip on the left side of the front and back straps. The frame is casehardened and remaining parts are blue with polished hammer sides. The revolver is fitted with black checkered two piece grips with the Rampant Colt in an oval at the tops. Complete with the original black hinged lid box numbered to the gun, bore brush, original waxed paper and papers.

Excellent. The revolver retains 98% of the original blue finish, with a couple of very delicate scratches. The frame retains virtually all of the original bright and vivid case colors. The markings remain sharp. The grips are as new. There are no signs of a drag line on the cylinder. The box is excellent.
