Colt SAA .45LC *MARTY HUBER'S RETIREMENT GIFT - ONE OF A KIND* Documented

According to all of the Factory Colt Archives Letters and accompanying documentation, this Colt Single Action Army Revolver was manufactured as an extraordinary Colt Custom Shop presentation piece for Martin S. Huber, Colt Historian Emeritus. The letters identify this example as serial number S02406A, chambered in .45 Long Colt with a 5 1/2-inch barrel, Full Royal Blue finish, and one-piece smooth ivory stocks scrimshawed on the left side with the initials “MSH.” The revolver was factory engraved by Colt Master Engraver Steve Kamyk and features Type “B” Helfricht-style engraving, gold inlaid barrel bands at the muzzle and rear of the barrel, a gold inlaid band at the rear of the cylinder, “45 CAL” engraved on the trigger guard, “57 YEARS SERVICE” engraved on the left side of the barrel, “M. S. Huber” engraved in signature style down the backstrap, and Huber’s retirement date, “June 15, 1993,” engraved on the butt. The documentation further confirms that it was presented to Martin S. Huber on June 17, 1993, as a retirement gift from Colt’s Manufacturing Company, his work associates, and friends in the collecting fraternity, and that it was housed in a walnut French-fitted presentation case with Tyrol red interior and a brass presentation plate inscribed in his honor. With its Colt Custom Shop order, one-gun shipment status, Master Engraver execution, gold inlay, ivory stocks, presentation case, and direct association with one of Colt’s most important historians, this revolver represents an exceptional and historically significant Colt presentation Single Action Army.

Opportunities to acquire a Colt of this level on the open market are exceedingly rare. This is not simply a factory engraved Single Action Army or a limited-production commemorative, but a documented Colt Custom Shop presentation revolver made for Martin S. Huber, Colt Historian Emeritus, and tied directly to Colt’s own institutional history. With its Master Engraver work, gold inlay, ivory stocks, presentation case, one-gun shipment status, and extensive Factory Archives documentation, this revolver represents the kind of piece that is seldom offered publicly and may not surface again for decades. For the advanced Colt collector, this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a historically important, one-of-one Colt presentation arm connected to one of the most significant figures in Colt collecting history.
