REMARKABLE AND MOST ATTRACTIVE 2ND YEAR PRODUCTION COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .45 REVOLVER WITH EARLY SLANT BBL ADDRESS, 2-LINE PATENT MARKING AND FULL SILVER PLATING.

SN 3693. Cal. .45. 7-1/2″ bbl. This remarkable revolver features full silver plating which is certainly of the period and possibly factory. Bbl address is as crisp as new and frame markings are perfect as well. Cal marking on trigger guard is crisp and gun has tiny British proofs on bbl and cyl. Varnished walnut grip fits perfectly and obviously orig to this revolver. Gun comes with attachable shoulder stock in full nickel. We have never seen an early full silver plated Colt SAA as this is usually a characteristic of earlier engraved SAA. However, the finish on this gun is impossible to fault. All slant bbl address SAA’s are rare and highly prized by collectors of the SAA. PROVENANCE: The spectacular collections of Ray Bentley featuring the finest and rarest deluxe antique Winchesters in the world. CONDITION: Markings, mechanically excellent. Bbl, frame, cyl, backstrap and trigger guard all period silver plating. Bore is excellent. Grips retain nearly all their orig varnish. Stock is excellent (period of mfg not certain). All together, a most unusual and beautiful Colt SAA. Well worthy of factory letter which it may reveal it origin and subsequent English destination. 53091-92 (12,500-15,000) – Lot 2121
