*SOLD* 1959 Colt Single Action Army .44 Spl Blue 7.5" *EARLY 2nd GENERATION MODEL*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Colt Single Action Army (SAA), often referred to as the Peacemaker or Model P, is an iconic single-action revolver with a revolving cylinder that holds six metallic cartridges. Initially designed for the U.S. government's 1873 service revolver trials by Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company, it became the standard issue military revolver until 1892. Over the years, the SAA has become one of the most replicated and modified revolvers in history, as its design and popularity have made it a timeless symbol of the American West. Despite its historical significance, Colt ceased production of the Single Action Army at the onset of World War II to focus on wartime orders, leading to a hiatus in manufacturing.
 
However, the rise of Western-themed television shows and movies sparked renewed interest in the SAA, and Colt responded by resuming production in 1956 with the Second Generation line. These revolvers were produced from 1956 to 1974 and were serialized from 0001SA to 73,205SA. The popularity of the Colt SAA was further cemented by the success of shows like The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, which led Colt to introduce the Buntline Special as a Second Generation offering between 1957 and 1974. The Second Generation Colt Single Action Army revolvers are highly prized by collectors today, appreciated for their craftsmanship, historical significance, and enduring legacy in American firearms history.
