Description

This exceptional Colt Second Generation Single Action Army revolver, chambered in .45 Long Colt, represents both rarity and beauty in a timeless Western silhouette. Shipped from the Colt factory on December 8, 1959, as part of a two-gun order to Ray Guthrie of Willis, Virginia, this revolver is documented by a Colt factory letter confirming its configuration—minus the non-listed (but stunning) pearl grips.

Finished in factory nickel with a 4 ¾" barrel, this revolver remains in excellent condition, retaining 99% of its original finish with only faint handling marks. The iridescent, period-style Colt medallion pearl grips elevate the visual appeal, making it a standout in any collection. According to Wilkerson’s reference work on postwar Colt SAA revolvers, only 1,384 were produced in this configuration—less than 4% of .45 LC Second Generation production.

Whether you're a Colt collector or connoisseur of fine American firearms, this revolver combines elegance, documented provenance, and collector-grade condition into a single iconic package.
