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. These revolvers are the absolute closest to a Colt you can get without a pony on the side. Produced "under the Blue Dome", they were actually made in the old Colt factory in Hartford and made right here in the USA, unlike many of the SAA reproductions. The firing pins are conical and there is no window in the loading gates at the hinges, indicative of US-made parts.

They are the SAA Sheriff model, featuring short 3" barrels, gorgeous Dome Blue and color case hardened finish, chambered for the original .45 Colt cartridge. Both revolvers are in absolutely Excellent condition, appearing to have spent more time in their boxes than out, and showing no sign of use outside the factory. These revolvers will make a fantastic addition to any collection. Please see our photos and good luck!
