The Colt Single Action Army Revolver is arguably the most iconic American handgun. In the hands of ranchers, cavalrymen, Native Americans, lawmen, and outlaws, the Peacemaker’s legacy was forged out in the hostile American West and continues to gain popularity among today’s collectors. This example will certainly make a statement in any SAA or American firearms collection.
CONDITION: Excellent, retaining 95% plus original blue finish with some thinning on the grip straps, a cylinder drag line, and scattered light edge wear. The hammer and frame retain 97% original vivid case colors. The period replacement factory pattern grips are very fine with an impression near the bottom on the left panel, otherwise a few handling marks and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. A fabulous example of a pre-war Colt SAA well deserving of the finest collection.
Estimate: 10,000 - 18,000
