Description:Manufactured in 1902. Matching serial numbers on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap, and assembly number "22" on the loading gate. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration (grips not listed) as well as shipment to Simmons Hardware Co. in St. Louis on 2 April 1902. Includes a lightly tooled leather gun-belt with cartridge loops and a double loop holster designed for a 7 1/2 inch barrel.
Rating Definition:Very fine with original nickel finish, some flaking, and a smooth dark grey patina. The grips are fine with some light wear, some scattered minor dings and scratches, and well-defined checkering overall. Mechanically excellent. The holster rig is good with significant wear and cracking, and the stitching at the toe absent. A Colt Single Action Army that certainly has the distinctive attractive look of seeing western use!
