Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this single-action revolver today for a penny-start auction; this is the Colt Single Action Army Frontier Scout General Meade Pennsylvania Campaign Model!
The Colt Single Action Army Frontier Scout General Meade Pennsylvania Campaign Model honors Major General George G. Meade, the Union commander who led the Army of the Potomac to its decisive victory over Robert E. Lee at the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. Meade’s leadership at Gettysburg helped turn the tide of the Civil War in the Union’s favor, and he continued to command the Army of the Potomac through the war’s later campaigns, playing a key role in the Overland and Petersburg operations. This commemorative revolver pairs Colt’s classic Single Action Army lines with period-style engraving and markings that reference Meade and the Pennsylvania campaign, making it a meaningful collectible for those interested in Civil War history and American martial heritage.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Single Action Army “General Meade — Pennsylvania Campaign” Frontier Scout is a commemorative rendition of Colt’s iconic Single Action Army, created to honor Major General George G. Meade—the Union commander who defeated Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg and led the Army of the Potomac through the critical Pennsylvania campaigns of 1863. Built on the compact Frontier Scout frame, the pistol preserves the classic single-action operation and old-west silhouette while adding presentation-grade appointments intended to evoke Civil War era reverence. The design typically pairs period-inspired grips and decorative engraving or special markings that call out Meade and the Pennsylvania campaign, making the piece as much a historical memento as a functional revolver. This edition was produced as a limited run—1,197 examples total—so it occupies a clearly collectible niche rather than being a common commemorative. The relatively small production number, combined with Colt’s reputation for quality, gives the series tangible scarcity that collectors prize. Most examples were issued with presentation packaging and documentation, and survivors that retain original finish, grips, and paperwork command the strongest interest; condition and completeness materially affect desirability and market value for a piece like this. Beyond its scarcity, the revolver’s appeal lies in the intersection of American military history and classic firearm design: it connects a storied historical figure and campaign to one of the nation’s most recognizable handgun platforms. For collectors interested in Civil War commemoration, Colt history, or limited-run presentation pieces, the General Meade Frontier Scout is a meaningful addition—best judged by verifying serial range, confirming original accessories and paperwork, and assessing overall condition to determine both historical authenticity and collectible worth.
