Manufactured in 1902, this is a solid representative example of a Colt SAA. The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line address with "38 W.C.F." on the left side and the two-line, three patent date marking on the left side of the frame followed by the circled Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard and back strap and the assembly number "847" is marked on the loading gate. Blade front and frame notch rear sights, casehardened frame and hammer, with niter blue screws and blue on the remaining parts. Fitted with two-piece checkered hard rubber grips with the Rampant Colt in an oval at the top. The accompanying factory letter verifies the caliber, barrel length, blue finish with the grips as "Not Listed" and that it was shipped as 1 of 8 to Bering Cortes Hardware in Houston, Texas on March 19, 1902.

Very good with 25% original blue finish remaining, mainly on the barrel, cylinder flats and protected areas. The balance has a smooth mottled gray patina. The frame has a smooth mottled brown patina. There are hints of niter blue finish on the frame screws and on the trigger. The grips are also very good with some light handling wear, and a few minor dings and scratches. The markings are clear. The action is excellent.
