Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this ULTRA DESIRABLE single-action revolver today for a penny-start auction; this is the Colt Single-Action Army engraved by JERRY HARPER!
Jerry Harper was a highly respected American master engraver known for his refined, traditional scrollwork and deep-cut relief engraving, earning recognition among serious firearms collectors and custom gunmakers. Harper began his career with a passion for firearms and craftsmanship, which naturally led him into the world of engraving, where he trained under master engraver Winston Churchill—one of the most influential figures in modern American firearms engraving. Under Churchill’s guidance, Harper developed a strong foundation in classic American and European engraving styles, eventually establishing his own identity through bold scroll patterns, fine shading, and exceptional attention to detail. His work has appeared on a wide range of high-grade firearms, including custom 1911s and presentation pieces, and is highly regarded for its precision and artistic balance. Today, Jerry Harper’s engravings are sought after by collectors who appreciate master-level craftsmanship, and pieces bearing his work often command a premium due to their quality, rarity, and connection to one of the most respected engraving lineages in the United States.

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 characterized by a change in barrel thread pitch and a solid cylinder bushing replacing the removable/replaceable part 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 during 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: 4¾", 5½" and 7½"; and six chamberings: 32-20, 38-40, 44-40, .38 Special, 357 Magnum or 45 Colt; a total of 36 variations. The .44-40 WCF caliber, a historic and widely recognized cartridge, was officially discontinued in 2011. Despite its discontinuation, this caliber, along with others such as the .32-30 WCF, .38-40 WCF, .38 Spl, and .44 Spl, remains available through special order from the Colt Custom Shop.
