Nice FIRST GENERATION Colt 6-Shooter

Here we present a C&R First Generation Colt Single Action Army Revolver chambered in .38 Special, manufactured in 1905 in Hartford, Connecticut. The Colt “Peacemaker” was introduced in 1873 and has become one of the most iconic firearms in all of history, thanks to its widespread use by the U.S. military, civilians and, more recently, in Western films. Total production numbers for the “First Generation” (c. 1873-1940) Colt Single Action Army reached 357,859. These continued to be relied upon as well as “hot-rodded” by the likes of Elmer Keith, Skeeter Skelton, many other lawmen and gun writers of the time.

Though Colt enjoyed the largest contracts of any handgun maker during the American Civil War, it had to rely on its array of percussion fired revolvers, namely the 1860 Army until the Smith & Wesson owned Rollin White Patent expired in 1869. This enabled them to begin making revolvers with completely bored through cylinder chambers in order to utilize modern metallic cartridge ammunition in the most effective manner. In 1869, Colt began development of a suitable cartridge revolver in earnest, first coming out with a number of conversions for their percussion lines, until 1872 when they debuted what was to become the Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army in the 1872 U.S. Trials. Needless to say, it won, and became the Army’s revolver of choice. It also became the sidearm of choice for many others like cowboys, guards, lawmen, crooks, shopkeepers and all manner of civilians.
There is standard left side barrel marking, two line, three patent date marking on the left side of the frame followed by the Rampant Colt. It has a standard blade front and frame notch rear sights, casehardened frame and hammer, with blue finish on the remaining metal surfaces and fitted with nice stag grips.

The overall condition is near fine. This revolver was converted to .38 Special with a Colt barrel and cylinder. Thea action has all four clicks and holds all three positions. The cylinder indexes and locks up very nicely. The bore is shiny bright with strong rifling. Stag grips are solid. Numbers match.
