U.S.A.” It has the correct three line patent dates of 1871, 1872 and 1875 on the left of the frame. Additionally, the left barrel is stamped “Colt Single Action Army .45”.

The revolver features a blue'd barrel, frame, and trigger guard. The cylinder shows a high polished nickel finish and is stamped “.22 MAG”. The revolver is fit with Cocobolo hardwood grips. The barrel measures 4 ¾” and is marked "Frontier Scout’ 62 .22 Cal." on the left of the barrel and on top “Colt’s PT. F.A. MFG. Co. Hartford CT. U.S.A.”.

These matching revolvers come with a historical letter from Colt informing the consignor the records for the Single Action Army had been destroyed many years ago. Based on this information it has been presumed that this matching set was put together for an employee’s retirement. The Single Action Army appears to be a build composed of new old stock parts. The revolvers come in a wooden colt factory box with red felt interior. The box shows good condition and measures 16 ¾” x 8 ¾” x 2 ¼”.
