This is an example of a Colt Single Action Army revolver manufactured in 1926. The top of the barrel is marked with the two line address, "38 COLT" on the left side and the left side of the frame is marked with the two line, three patent dates followed by the Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame and on the right side of the front and back strap under the grip. The rear face of the matching cylinder is stamped with the last two numbers of the serial number, "17". The loading gate and right rear of the frame are marked with the assembly number "815". Blade front and frame notch rear sights, blue finish with casehardened frame and hammer, and fitted with hard rubber grips numbered to the gun.

Very fine as partially refinished (cold blue on muzzle and filed down front sight).The balance of revolver retains 90% original blue finish with some muzzle and high edge wear, and some thinning on the grip straps. There is a drag line and a few minor scratches on the cylinder. The frame and hammer retain 95% slightly faded original case colors. The grips are also excellent with some minor handling marks and crisp checkering. The markings remain crisp and clear. The action is fine.
