Our Assessment: Colt’s Model 1873, the Single Action Army, is the "gun that won the west", perhaps the most iconic handgun of all time. For nearly 150 years, the gun has been produced in a variety of configurations, finishes and calibers. This revolver is the absolute closest to a Colt you can get without a pony on the side. This USFA has a blue and case color finish with a 5 1/2" barrel, chambered for the original .45 Colt. It is in Fine condition, appearing to have spent more time in its serial-matching USFA box than out. The firing pin is conical and there is no window in the loading gate at the hinge, indicative of US-made parts, an important point for the discerning collector. Also of note are the factory stag grips, also listed on the box's matching label. This gorgeous revolver will make a great addition to any collection. Please see our photos and good luck!
