Overview & history

Founded by Samuel Colt in Hartford, Connecticut in 1855, Colt's Manufacturing built its legend on revolvers - the 1873 Single Action Army 'Peacemaker' and the premium Python - and on the 1911 semi-automatic pistol it produced for the U.S. military. Colt collectibility runs deep, with value driven by the model, generation, configuration, condition, originality, and any martial or historical markings. Antique (pre-1899) and first-generation examples command the most.
