The barrel is stamped with the two-line Hartford address on top. The left side of the frame carries the
three-line, three patent dates marking. The caliber designation “45 CAL” is stamped on the left side of
the trigger guard. Matching full serial numbers appear on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. The
barrel, cylinder, and grip straps are blued, and the hammer and frame are casehardened. The revolver is
fitted with a one-piece walnut grip.
CONDITION: Fine, retaining 40% original blue finish and 30% original case colors with smooth gray
patina on the balance and a couple small patches of pitting. The re-oiled grip is very good with high
edge wear and some handling marks mostly on the bottom. Mechanically functions but hammer has
only three clicks. A Colt Sheriff’s Model SAA revolver that has the ability to rewrite the history books!
Provenance: The Arnold M. Chernoff Collection; The Ken Karnak Collection; The Stan Shapiro &

Estimate: 15,000 - 25,000
