Included in this lot is a Colt First Generation Single Action Army .41 caliber revolver. This classic American firearm utilizes a 5 ½” round barrel chambered in .41 caliber. During World War II, the Peacemaker fell out of regular production as Colt was occupied with wartime contracts. Following the conflict, the most popular shows on the television sets of the era were Westerns, sparking a renewed interest in the “cowboy” gun. With this, Colt returned the SAA to the assembly line in 1956, producing 2nd Generation guns. This First Gen. Single Action Army shows a grayed patina, indicative of its early age and use. The top of the barrel is marked “Colt’s PT F.A. MFG. Co. Hartford CT. U.S.A.”, while the left of the barrel reads “41 Colt”. The left of the frame is stamped Pat. Sept. 19. 1871. July 2. 72. Jan. 19. 75.” The firearm is fitted with plastic antler style grips. The revolver was manufactured in 1901. Serial Number: 206793. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
