Exceptional Pre-World War II Colt Single Action Army Revolver in 44 Special Caliber with Factory Letter

Manufactured in 1936. The top of the barrel is marked with the one line address, "COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .44 SPECIAL" on the left side and the left side of the frame has the two line, three patent dates marking followed by the Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame and right side of the grip straps under the grip panel. The matching assembly number "142" is marked on the loading gate. All nickel finish and fitted with smooth dark walnut grips with silver Colt medallions. The included factory letter states that the revolver was manufactured on December 10, 1937 and sent to the shipping room on December 18, 1937. No other information was obtained from the factory records.

ConditionExcellent plus. The revolver retains 99% original nickel finish with a small area of minor pitting on the muzzle end of the ejector housing and cylinder. Overall there are some minor scratches and a light cylinder drag line. The replacement grips are also excellent with a small chip on the right toe and a few minor handling marks. The action is excellent. The markings are crisp and clear.
