Included in this lot is a Colt First Generation Single Action Army .41 Colt revolver. This classic American firearm utilizes a 7 ½” round barrel chambered in .41 Colt. During World War II, the Peacemaker fell out of regular production as Colt was occupied with wartime contracts. Following the conflict, the most popular shows on the television sets of the era were Westerns, sparking a renewed interest in the “cowboy” gun. With this, Colt returned the SAA to the assembly line in 1956, producing 2nd Generation guns. This revolver has a manufacture date of 1878. This First Gen. Single Action Army shows a rusted patina indicative of age and use. The top of the barrel is unreadable although standard lines are “Colts PT F.A. MFG Co. Hartford CT U.S.A.” The firearm is rust throughout. The hammer and cylinder are completely locked up. The cylinder holds six live rounds rusted in their chamber. The revolver shows matching serial number: 41338. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
