*PRE-WWII COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

Revised: 2/28/2011

SPECIAL NOTE: The catalog correctly states that this gun was refreshed by the factory. Most importantly, it should also be noted that this factory refreshment literally took place a matter of weeks after its initial shipment on loan to Floyd Buckley and prior to its reallocation to H&D Folsom, as indicated by the Colt Factory records. The gun retains 1927 vintage Colt Factory finish making the fact of refreshment a moot point. An unnumbered cylinder is not uncommon on SAAs in this serial range.

The Correct Estimate should be…$5000-8000.

*PRE-WWII COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 348617. Cal. 45 Colt. Blue & color case hardened with 7-1/2″ bbl, full thick front sight and 1-line block letter address with caliber marking on left side. Left side of frame has 2-line 3-patent dates and rampant Colt. Mounted with rampant Colt hard rubber grips numbered to this revolver. SN was observed on the frame & right sides of front & back straps under the grip. Left side of front strap & butt strap under the grip is stamped with the assembly number “120B” which number is also found on the bbl, under ejector rod housing and inside ejector rod housing, indicating factory restored finish. Cylinder is not numbered which indicates that it is probably a replacement at the time of restoration. Right rear web of trigger guard is stamped with a small “&”, the factory mark for factory restoration. Accompanied by a Colt factory letter identifying this revolver as found, shipped to Loan Account Floyd Buckley, address unavailable, on Feb. 4, 1927 in a shipment of nine same type revolvers. Under remarks section they state that the revolver was returned to the factory on May 19, 1927 and was then shipped to H & D Folsom Arms Co. in New York on Oct. 25, 1927. CONDITION: Very fine, all matching except cylinder, as noted above. Overall retains most of its fine factory restored finish with bright glossy blue on bbl & cyl with only light muzzle edge wear & sharp edge wear on cylinder. Ejector rod housing shows light wear on front edge. Frame retains strong, bright case colors in front edges and sheltered areas, moderately faded elsewhere. Sides & rear edge of hammer retain bright case colors, faded on top edge. Trigger guard & back strap retain most of their factory blue with a scrape on front strap. Grips are sound with some minor flattened diamonds on right side showing light wear elsewhere. Hammer is not solid in safety notch, otherwise mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore. 4-42001 JR178 (5,000-8,000)
