The Colt Single Action Army revolver is one of the most iconic firearms of the American West, and it, alongside the Winchester Model 1873, are often cited as the "Guns that Won the West". The .32 W.C.F. caliber was noted for its accuracy and would have been highly regarded on the frontier by someone concerned with well-placed shots. This example was manufactured in 1912, when much of the West still remained wild. The standard one-line address is on top of the barrel, and the caliber marking is on the left. The two-line patent date marking and circled Rampant Colt are on the left of the frame. Matching serial numbers are on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. The assembly number "33" is marked inside the loading gate. It has standard features and is fitted with a pair of checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colts at the tops. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration as well as shipment to J.B. Varick & Co. of Manchester, New Hampshire, on 6 August 1912 as a single gun shipment.

Very fine, retains 80% plus of the bright original high polish blue finish and 75% of the vibrant case colors with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth brown-grey patina. The replacement grips are fine with a minor crack at the toe of the left panel and otherwise minimal handling marks and mostly crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. A Single Action Army revolver in this caliber would have been the choice of someone on the Western Frontier who regarded accuracy over all.
