Description:

The Colt Single Action Army in .44-40 was named the "Frontier Six Shooter" after J.P. Moore's Sons ordered some in 1878. Single actions in .44-40 were particularly desirable in the West because they could use the same ammunition as the popular Winchester Model 1873 rifles and carbines. This classic Colt was manufactured in 1901 and has the standard sights, "COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER" and the two-line address on the barrel, the two-line patent and encircled Rampant Colt on the left side of the frame, Rampant Colt embossed grips, and matching serial numbers. The revolver is accompanied by a "948/44 6" marked double loop holster with the name and address of a former owner on the back (last name appears to be "Lund") on the back of the body, a cartridge belt, and an "I.M.E.U." badge marked "SPECIAL/POLICE/127/KANSAS CITY,/MO."

Rating Definition:

Good "frontier issued" appearance overall with mottled blend of gray and brown patina, light pitting, and generally moderate overall wear. The left cylinder release screw appears to be a replacement. The grips have a well-aged light brown coloration, worn but visible checkering and Rampant Colt emblems, and some dings and scratches. Mechanically fine. The holster, belt, and badge are also fine and have mild age and storage related wear. Overall, a very attractive set that displays well together.
