Built on a carbon-steel frame with a color case-hardened finish and matched to a high-polish blued barrel, cylinder, ejector housing, trigger guard, and backstrap, this SAA follows Colt's classic finish scheme. The six-shot fluted cylinder, crescent ejector-rod head with spring-plunger housing, and base pin retained by a frame screw reflect the correct Third Generation configuration.
Factory rollmarks include the barrel legend "COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .45" with a Hartford-style address. The frame is marked with two-line 1871/72/75 patent dates and the Rampant Colt, aligning with period-correct Third Generation details.
The action is single-action only with traditional four clicks and no transfer bar, preserving the original Colt lockwork feel. The exposed spurred hammer has a checkered spur for secure cocking.
Sights are fixed, with an integral front blade and a topstrap notch rear. Grips are Colt plow-handle style, black checkered hard-rubber pattern with Rampant Colt medallions and the eagle-with-shield motif, completing the classic SAA profile.
Designated under Colt catalog code P1840 and made in the USA, this 4.75-inch .45 Colt example represents late Third Generation production in 2014 with materials, markings, and finishes that collectors and enthusiasts seek.
