Our Assessment: Colt’s Model 1873, the Single Action Army, is the “gun that won the west”, perhaps the most iconic handgun of all time. For nearly 150 years, the gun has been produced in a variety of configurations, finishes and calibers. This revolver is the absolute closest to a Colt you can get without a pony on the side. This USFA has a blue and case color finish with a 4 3/4? barrel, chambered for the .44 Special cartridge. It is in Excellent condition, appearing to have spent more time in its box than out. Produced “under the Blue Dome”, it was actually made in the old Colt factory in Hartford and made right here in the USA, unlike many of the SAA reproductions. This gorgeous revolver will make a great addition to any collection. Please see our photos and good luck!
