Manufactured in 1937. This revolver features blade front and fixed notch rear sights. The barrel is marked "COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .45" on the left and "COLT'S PT.F.MFG. Co. HARTFORD CT. U.S.A." on the top. The left side of the frame is marked with the two line, three date patent marking ahead of a Rampant Colt. The last two digits of the serial number, "43", is found on the rear face of the cylinder. Fitted with a set of checkered hard rubber grips with the rampant colt in an oval at the top of either panel. Includes a modern custom replacement Colt display case fitted for a shorter barrel SAA.
Very fine, retaining 85% original blue finish and 70% case colors with a light artificially applied grey patina on the grip straps, some light muzzle wear, and a few light scratches. Grips are very fine as well with softened checkering and a chip at the toe of the left panel, some light dings on the lower edge, and an attractive brown coloration. Case is very fine. Mechanically excellent.
