Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this STUNNING single-action revolver today for a penny-start auction; this is the Colt Single Action Army - Third Generation finished by Turnbull!
According to the owner, this example remains in “NEW OLD STOCK” condition, and we see no evidence to indicate otherwise!
According to the Colt Factory Archives Letter, this example is documented as a pair of consecutive serial numbered Colt Single Action Army Revolvers, chambered in .45 Colt with 4¾" barrels and shipped in an “in-the-white” finish. The letter confirms these revolvers were delivered on August 25, 2004 to Doug Turnbull for finishing outside of the Colt factory, a designation indicating they were intentionally left without final finish for custom embellishment. Additional details include the .45 Colt rollmark, two-line barrel address, and their shipment as part of a group of twelve, further reinforcing their purpose as specially prepared revolvers intended for high-level custom finishing and presentation.
Don't forget to bid on the consecutive serial-numbered sisters for this set to stay together for future generations of collectors!!! Simply type item number #1173889141 OR #1173894516 into the search bar OR you can click "Seller's other items"
This particular example is part of a three-piece consecutive serial set! This example sports the serial number (#S36809A) and the matching pair in the other auctions bears the serial number (#S36810A) and (#S36808A)!

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Single Action Army (also known as the Model P, Peacemaker, M1873, Single Action Army, SAA, ) is a single-action revolver with a revolving cylinder holding six metallic cartridges. It was designed for the U.S. government service revolver trials of 1873 by Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company, today Colt’s Manufacturing Company, and adopted as the standard military service revolver until 1892. It is perhaps the most copied, fraudulently modified to replicate an original Colt SAA, than any other revolver made. The third generation began in 1976, and it was characterized by a change in barrel thread pitch and a solid cylinder bushing replacing the removable/replaceable parts from the first and second generations. This Generation of production began with ser. no. 80,000SA, and reached 99,999SA in 1978. At this point, the SA suffix changed to a prefix beginning with SA01,001. Serialization reached SA99,999 in 1993. In 1994, production resumed with the increase in popularity of "Cowboy Action Shooting". These models are known either as "Late Third Generation" or sometimes Fourth Generation with the serial number convention changing yet again starting with S02001A and continuing with the "S" prefix and "A" suffix to 2009. Colt currently offers the Single Action Army in one of two finishes: either an all-nickel or blued with color case-hardened frame; in the traditional three barrel lengths: 4 3/4", 5 1/2" and 7 1/2"; and six chamberings: 32-20, 38-40, 44-40, .38 Special, 357 Magnum or 45 Colt; a total of 36 variations.
