Built in 1958, this Second Generation SAA pairs the sought-after 4.75-inch barrel length with the .45 Colt chambering. The six-shot, fluted cylinder and fixed-sight arrangement reflect the classic profile and handling that define this model.
The revolver wears high-polish full nickel plating over its steel frame and cylinder, complemented by two-piece black checkered hard-rubber stocks with molded Rampant Colt emblems in the oval panels. A wide, checkered spur hammer and a transverse base-pin latch round out the period-correct features.
Factory-style markings include the Hartford barrel address and a two-line, three-date patent legend with Rampant Colt on the left frame. The Colt "VP" proof on the left front of the trigger guard indicates factory inspection, and the SA-suffix serial format is characteristic of Second Generation production.
Second Generation SAAs are noted for their removable cylinder bushing and quality hand fitting. This U.S.-made example in nickel captures those hallmarks while presenting the quintessential 4.75-inch configuration many enthusiasts prefer.
