Description
7/10/25 - This is a rare and desirable Colt Cavalry Single Action Army revolver from 1890. The Colt Single Action Army (SAA) revolver, also known as the Peacemaker, is an iconic firearm with a rich history tied to the American West. Initially adopted by the U.S. Army in 1873 as a standard sidearm for mounted troops, it quickly gained popularity among civilians. The SAA was known for its handling, durability, and the .45 Colt cartridge's stopping power. This one is completely matching with a proper 7.5in barrel. It is "US" Property marked on the frame with mixed "K" and "RAC" martial markings throughout. Visible military cartouches on the grip panels, and the left side is dated 1890. This gun is in exceptional condition for its age - better than almost any we've ever seen. The majority of the original bluing is visible on the barrel, cylinder, and cylinder. Beautiful case-hardening on the frame, especially bright and visible in some of the crevices. Fully functional with all four "clicks". The bore is amazing for its age - near-mint. No FFL required. Just a truly beautiful example of this iconic gun.
