Chambered in .45 Colt with the iconic 4.75 inch barrel, this full-size Single Action Army retains the classic fixed blade front sight and fixed topstrap notch rear. The six-shot fluted cylinder and single-action operation deliver the traditional SAA experience in a highly desirable configuration.
The revolver wears a traditional color case-hardened frame and hammer paired with high-polish blued barrel, ejector-rod housing, cylinder, trigger guard, and backstrap. Rollmarks include "COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .45" on the barrel, the top address "COLT'S P.F.A. MFG. CO. HARTFORD CT.
U.S.A.," and the frame legend with the prancing pony and patent dates.
Stocks are two-piece pearlescent with gold Colt medallions, adding a distinctive visual touch that complements the high-polish blue and case colors. The crescent-style checkered ejector-rod head underscores the traditional SAA handling profile.
Late Third Generation details are present, including the SA-prefix numbering used through 1993, the solid (non-removable) cylinder bushing, and the three-screw frame pattern on the right side. Additional assembly detail includes the "019" number on the loading gate. Made in the United States, this example captures hallmark features of the Third Generation era (1976–1993).
