Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 407

Description:

Offered here is a set of two consecutively serialized Second Generation Colt Single Action Army revolvers in matching configuration. Both revolvers share a factory letter which confirms the 5 1/2 inch barrels in .44 Special, nickel plating, and "wood" stocks. The letter also states the revolvers were shipped as a consecutive numbered pair on February 10, 1961, and delivered to Jacksons Sportsman Shop of Durate, California. According to Don Wilkerson's "The Post-War Colt Single-Action Revolver, 1955-1975," this pair was one of only seven produced in the configuration. Each revolver has standard markings, matching serial numbers on the frame, trigger guard, backstrap, cylinder, matching partial serial numbers on both grip panels, and a later production Colt "wood grain" box.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with more than 98% of the original nickel finish retained with very few light handling marks, faint cylinder drag line, and a couple spots of dried grease on the right side of the frame under the cylinder. The grips are also excellent, with limited handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
