Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this GORGEOUS single-action revolver for a penny-start auction; this is the Colt Storekeeper's Model Single Action Army (3rd Generation).
Produced in extremely limited numbers and steeped in classic Colt heritage, the Storekeeper’s Model Single Action Army (3rd Generation, 1984–1985) stands as one of the most elusive and visually striking modern SAA variants ever offered. Chambered exclusively in .45 Long Colt and built on the traditional black powder frame, this rare revolver features a compact 4-inch barrel with ejector rod, lavish full nickel or royal blue with case-hardened finishes, and elegant ivory grips, creating a bold blend of frontier tradition and premium craftsmanship. With only approximately 280 examples manufactured, the Storekeeper’s Model is a true collector-grade revolver—seldom encountered, instantly recognizable, and highly coveted by advanced Colt enthusiasts.
According to the included factory letter, this example was shipped to Aeromarine at 7605 Eastwood Mall in Birmingham, Alabama, on December 28, 1985.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Storekeeper’s Model Single Action Army, 3rd Generation (manufactured 1984–1985), represents one of the rarest and most desirable modern-era Colt SAA variations, combining classic Old West styling with exceptionally limited production. Chambered exclusively in .45 Long Colt and built on the traditional black powder frame, these revolvers feature a distinctive 4-inch barrel with a full-length ejector rod, offering a compact yet highly functional configuration that bridges historical authenticity and modern craftsmanship. Factory finish options included full nickel or Colt’s highly polished Royal Blue with case-hardened frame, often paired with striking factory ivory grips, creating a visually dramatic and premium presentation. With an estimated production of only approximately 280 revolvers over a brief two-year period, this variant stands apart even among other limited-run Colt Single Action Army models.

Due to their extreme scarcity, factory high-grade finishes, and classic configuration, the 3rd Generation Storekeeper’s Models are highly sought after by advanced Colt collectors and Western arms enthusiasts. Their short production window and distinctive feature set make verified, original examples especially valuable, with condition, originality, and factory documentation playing major roles in determining market desirability. These revolvers represent Colt’s effort to revive historically inspired configurations during the late 20th century while maintaining elite craftsmanship standards, resulting in a modern collectible that embodies both heritage and exclusivity. As a result, the 1984–1985 Storekeeper’s Model SAA occupies a premier position among post-war Colt revolver rarities and remains one of the most coveted variations within the Single Action Army lineage.
