Offered here is a rarity is SAA collecting as it is one of only 925 Single Action Army Flattop Target revolvers manufactured by Colt between 1888 and 1896, and one of only 30 chambered in .32 S&W (see R.L. Wilson's "The Book of Colt Firearms," page 252). The accompanying factory letter confirms the flattop configuration with 7 1/2 inch barrel in .32 S&W and nickel finish. The revolver was shipped to Hartley & Graham of New York City on September 18, 1891. This was a single gun shipment. The barrel is stamped with the one-line Hartford address on top and "32 S&W" on the left side. The left side of the frame is stamped with the two-line patent dates marking followed by a circled Rampant Colt. Matching serial numbers are on the frame, trigger guard and back strap. Includes a leather flap holster featuring a light tooled border.

Very fine, retaining 75% untouched original nickel plating with the balance a smooth brown-gray patina. The front and rear sights are period replacements. The replacement grips are very good with a small chip near the butt and some minor handling marks. The rear dovetail sight has been modified during period of use with no damage to the frame. The holster is good with absent closure fastener. Mechanically excellent. A rare nickel plated Colt Single Action Army Flattop Revolver in even rarer .32 S&W missing from even the most advanced SAA collections. A must have for the serious SAA collector.
