c1903 mfr. COLT “PEACEMAKER” .32-20 WCF Single Action Army Revolver C&R SAA

Colt 6-Shooter Made in 1903

Here we present a C&R Colt Single Action Army Revolver, manufactured in 1903 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 Colt Single Action Army reached 357,859. The production numbers for the .32 WCF caliber reached 43,284, making this model the second most scarce out there, only ahead of the .41 Colts. These revolvers made excellent companions to rifles at the time as they were chambered for the same ammunition, meaning that the user only had to keep one type to feed both guns.

Calibers, with at least thirty in all, ranged from .22 rimfire through .476 Eley, with approximately half, or 158,884, including Bisley and Flat Top Target, chambered for .45 Colt. The next most popular were the .44-40 Winchester Center Fire (.44 WCF) at 71,392, the 38-40 (.38 WCF) at 50,520, the .32-20 Winchester (.32 WCF) at 43,284, and the .41 Colt at 19,676.

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.

The overall condition is very good. Refinished. The action is excellent having all four clicks and holding all three positions with excellent cylinder lock up. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The grips are solid. Numbers match.
