This is an excellent, near new, Second Generation version of the classic Colt Single Action Army revolver with a "cavalry" .45 caliber 7 1/2 inch barrel and the standard Rampant Colt embossed checkered hard rubber grips. It was manufactured in 1956 (first year of 2nd Gen. production) and has the standard markings and features including the matching serial and assembly numbers. It comes with an original factory black box numbered to the gun that contains the original papers and a bore brush. Approximately 10,030 Second Generation SAAs were produced in this configuration based on the data discussed in Wilkerson's "The Post-War Colt Single-Action Revolver, 1955-1975".
