Description :

This is an original, First Generation, Colt Single Action Army Revolver manufactured in 1902 and chambered for the .38-40 (.38 WCF) cartridge. The gun comes with its original gun belt and Mexican loop holster. There is also a Colt Factory letter documenting the gun's history. This revolver was shipped to Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. in Chicago, Illinois on May 1, 1902. This is an early smokeless powder revolver. The revolver is in fine condition with about 60% of its factory finish remaining. A great deal of blue remains on the barrel, cylinder, and protected areas of the ejector housing. The cylinder has more finish wear than the barrel and the grips straps are worn to a gray steel patina. About 60% of the case colors remain on the frame and trigger. The gun has excellent mechanics. The bore and chambers are very fine to excellent, bright and shiny. The black hard rubber grips are very fine with no chips or cracks. There is some light wear of the checkering on the right grip panel. This generally indicates that a gun was carried often, and the owner liked to rest his hand on the butt. The original holster is a Mexican loop style with two loops and a simple rolled border decoration. It is in fine condition overall with some scuffing. The barrel of the gun has worn through the leather at the bottom of the holster and the barrel is just peeking through, more evidence of being carried. Also, a little bit of leather was removed at the top front of the holster to expose more of the gun. This was often done to facilitate a faster draw. The gun belt is of standard design with 36 cartridge loops and a clipped corner, nickel plated buckle. It is in fine condition with flexible leather. As stated, the gun comes with a Colt factory letter and some information on Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett, and Co. This is a great old Colt with an equally great rig. Stock no. 8296
