Our Assessment: The Colt Single Action Army handgun is a single action revolver designed for the US government service revolver trials of 1873 by Colt’s Manufacturing Company and adopted as the standard military service revolver until 1892. Although the SAA has been offered in over 30 different calibers and various barrel lengths, its overall appearance has remained consistent since 1873. Colt has discontinued its production twice, but brought it back due to excessive demand.
This is a Colt Single Action Army made in 1958. The revolver is in Excellent condition with 99% of its finish remaining and appears lightly used. The bore is mirror bright with sharp rifling and no erosion. I highly encourage you to take a look at the condition in our high quality photos. Good luck on your bid. -C.M.
