Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this consecutive serial number matching lot today for a penny-start auction, this is the Colt Single Action Army “Peacemaker Centennial” Commemorative Set!
This Colt Consecutive serial number matching set was produced in 1973 to commemorate the 100th “Centennial” Anniversary of the famous Colt Single Action Army also known as the Peacemaker. Both models come in different configurations, finishes and chamberings. Example 1: Colt Frontier Six Shooter chambered in the .44-40 Winchester cartridge while wearing a 7-1/2 inch barrel and a stunning nickel finish (aka a civilian configuration). Example 2: Colt Single Action Army chambered in the .45 Colt cartridge while wearing a 7-1/2 inch barrel and blue/color case hardened finish (aka Cavalry Configuration) and is a faithful recreation of the original revolver that was made famous for accompanying Custer into his great battle.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Single Action Army (SAA), also known as the Colt .45 or Colt Peacemaker, is an iconic revolver that has become a symbol of the American West since its introduction in 1873 by Samuel Colt. Developed to meet the U.S. Army's demand for a reliable sidearm, its single-action mechanism required the hammer to be manually cocked before firing, providing faster, more reliable shots suitable for both military and civilian use. The SAA was adopted by the Army and became standard issue during the Indian Wars, praised for its significant stopping power and durability. Beyond military applications, it gained immense popularity among cowboys, lawmen, and outlaws, with associations to famous figures like Wyatt Earp and Billy the Kid, solidifying its status as a cultural icon. Over the years, the Colt SAA has seen various calibers and designs, with production briefly halting during World War II before resuming in modern times, preserving its classic look. Today, it remains a celebrated firearm, featured in countless films and books, and is highly valued by collectors and enthusiasts alike, embodying a unique blend of history, functionality, and cultural significance.
