Overview & History
Introduced in 1873, the Colt Single Action Army (the 'Peacemaker') is the definitive frontier revolver, produced across first, second, and third generations. Antique first-generation guns (especially pre-1899) are legally antique and highly collectible, with value driven by generation, configuration (barrel length, caliber, finish), condition, and any documented history. Factory letters confirming original configuration add significant value.
Identifying & Marks
The serial number identifies the generation and production year; check barrel address, caliber, finish, and grips. A Colt factory letter documenting original configuration and shipment is a major value driver - our specialists can advise.
