Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
This is every School boy's dream! A real Cowboy six gun! This very nice Colt SAA (Single Action Army) Revolver has a "Gunfighter Length" 4 3/4" barrel, and very nice original Colt gutta percha grips! The revolver's serial number is 306989, which is ALL MATCHING, built in 1908 with Assembly Number 289 on the loading gate.
In fine lightly used condition, the Colt grips still show the Colt "prancing pony" clearly, with lots of checkering. The metal finish still shows a lot of original color to delight any Western Americana Collector. It is in full working Order and Condition, showing a gorgeous patina of age.
Return Policy:The frame, grip, and trigger guard all bear the serial number clearly, so this pistol has definitely not been refinished at any time. The left side of the Barrel is marked 38 W.C.F., indicating chambering for the very popular Winchester .38-40 cartridge. While some may question why colt made guns chambered for a competitor's cartridge, having a repeating rifle and revolver that took the same ammunition was a big selling point. This also means that technically, this revolver may be considered by some to be a "Frontier" model, as the .38-40 was also considered "Frontier market."
Mechanically, the action is smooth, with a good cylinder lock up, and crisp dry fire. The action has all four clicks, and we have not noticed any of the usual finicky behavior of old revolvers. Really a great action on this example. The ejector door swings open easily, and the ejector itself works flawlessly. The bore is clear with visible rifling. This is a revolver that saw light service, and was well taken care of.
Pistols such as this are extremely difficult to find today at any reasonable price. This example is just ideal for any Wild West Collection. A great collector's revolver, ready to display!
