Chambered in .41 Colt with a 4.75-inch steel barrel, this Single Action Army uses a fluted six-shot cylinder. Operation is single-action only with an exposed, spurred hammer. The combination delivers the classic handling profile associated with early SAA revolvers.
Markings include the three-line 1871/72/75 patent legend with the rampant colt on the frame. Matching serials are present on the frame, trigger guard, and backstrap/butt, and the loading gate carries its assembly number, aligning with first-generation production practices.
The steel frame, barrel, and cylinder show a refinished high-polish blue, complemented by aftermarket two-piece stag-style grips. Manufactured in the United States in 1892, this example represents a desirable early SAA configuration in a period-correct caliber.
