19th C. Colt SAA Model 1873 Stag Bone Grips
The lot features a set of antique first generation Colt Single Action Army Model 1873 revolver grips in stag antler bone. The grips shows the brass screw hole at the center and are carved from Stag Antler Bone. Custom order grips were available from Colt starting in their first year of production in 1873, but it wasn't until 1880 when grips scales moved away from the wood one-piece grips to hard rubber scales that things began to really change. From here into the turn of the century stag and bone grips became very popular and desirable by Cowboys. These are an original antique set and are well preserved, from a large antique firearms and saddlery collection. Each grip measures 3-inches by 2 7/8-inches by about 1/2-inches.
