Colt Single Action Army .45 Colt Cal Revolver 1883
Offered for sale is a surprisingly fine condition example of a Colt Single Action Army .45 Colt Cal Revolver. The revolver shows matching serial numbers on the butt, trigger guard, frame and cylinder and correctly marked on the barrel top “COLT’S PT. F.A. MFG Co HARTFORD CT. U.S.A.” It has the correct three line patent dates of 1871, 1872 and 1875 as used on revolvers from the 34000 serial number range up to about the 135000 serial number range. The pistol retains fine barrel blue with normal gray streak on left side from holster carry, also exc. blue in the ejector housing flutes and on trigger guard, cylinder flutes and all protected areas with the balance aged naturally gray/brown and showing no signs of excessive cleaning or scrubbing, exc. screws, correct early style hammer, correct early black powder era eagle motif hard rubber grips. The revolver even retains some good case colors on the forward part of the frame. Fine action and solid lockup. Very difficult to find early 1880s .45 Colt Single Actions in unaltered condition with good blue remaining and matching serial numbers. A very fine early frontier Colt. This would be a prize for any advanced Colt or Old West collection. Antique firearm, NO FFL transfer or NICS background check required. Serial number is 100500.
