Manufactured in 1900 in sheriff's model configuration with documented 4 inch barrel. Colt Sheriff's Model revolvers are a rare and desirable Single Action Army variation. Experts estimate that 1,000-1,200 Sheriff's Model SAA revolvers were manufactured between 1882 and 1927. The revolver correctly lacks an ejector rod. The barrel has the two-line Hartford address on top and "41 COLT" on the left side. The left side of the frame has the two-line, three-date marking followed by a circled Rampant Colt. Matching numbers are found on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver with a 4 inch barrel in .41 caliber, blue finish, and type of stocks not listed when sold to L. Carroll & Co. (address unavailable) and shipped to Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co., Chicago, Illinois, on April 21, 1900.
