Description:

Manufactured in 1930, this is a very fine example of a pre-World War II Colt Single Action Army revolver. The top of the barrel is marked with the standard single-line address while the left has the model and caliber marking. The left side of the frame has the standard two-line patent date marking followed by the Rampant Colt, and "3/VP" is on the left of the trigger guard. The matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame and the left side of both the trigger guard and back strap. The cylinder is not numbered. The assembly number "930" is marked inside the loading gate. It is fitted with a blade front sight, groove rear sight, and a pair of smooth grips with Colt medallions at the tops.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retains 85% of the original blue finish and 80% plus of the muted original case colors with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina, primarily on edges/high spots and the grip straps. The grips are excellent with some scattered very light handling marks and a few hairline age cracks on the butts. Mechanically excellent.
