Colt Single Actions
For Sale
PRE-WAR COLT SINGLE
ACTION
(1) Colt Single Action Army
4-3/4” bbl, blue and color case 45LC, serial number 355544,
made in 1937. This is in 85% “EXCELLENT PLUS” condition.
The grips do NOT appear to be original BUT are an excellent fit
and are the proper PRE-WAR Single Action Army grips. The cylinder
chambers and barrel bores are excellent although the gun has
evidently had some carry wear. This is a good clean late PRE-WAR
Colt Single Action in the most popular "old west caliber"
that falls into the “BATTLE OF BRITAIN” range Single
Actions BUT it is NOT one of the ones shipped over there for
war time use to arm the “home guard”. The B.O.B. range
SAA’s are becoming quite a collectible period Colt. Anyway,
you guys be the judge of what you want to pay for this fine old
Colt that just turned 70 this year. Kathy
Hoyt, Colt Historian, attempted
to research this gun but records are missing for this period....(THANK
YOU R.L. WILSON)...... $8,795.00

UNTURNED, ENGRAVED BY JOHN ADAMS, Sr. These Colts are exact duplicates
of the GENERAL GEORGE S. PATTON, Jr. COLT SINGLE ACTION with
IVORY CARVED EAGLE GRIPS complete with the two notches he carved
in the grips for killing 2 mexican bandits. NO CYLINDER turn
mark, 100% condition. These come complete with a walnut double
display case (built by Les Yoder) with 4 silver stars inlaid
in a walnut block and a silver engraved 3 Army patch enlaid in
a circular block of walnut. The guns were never fired prior to
engraving. They were absolutely new in the box guns when I took
them to Adams & Adams Engravers in October, 2006. John Adams,
Sr. engraved one third generation for a Colt Mfg. Co. customer
from pictures the customer furnished of the Patton Colt. Adams
and Adams engravers did 10 for Doug Turnbull and then John Adams,
Sr. did these 2 second generation for me. The barrels were sent
to Doug Turnbull to have the 2 line barrel address on top of
the barrel and "45 Colt" calibre marking on the left
side to be more precise to the original HELFRICHT ENGRAVED PATTON
COLT. They even have the S&W style lanyard ring in the butt.
These 2 Colts are the only 2nd Generation PATTON STYLE COLTS
that were ever done and are absolutely beautiful!! ......................$17,500.00

BOX WITH SLIP COVER THAT IS NUMBERED TO THE GUN and the
proper litterature as well as the cardboard piece that fits over
the gun inside the box and a Colt Historical letter signed by
Marty Huber, Colt Historian who was employed by Colts longer
than any employee in company history. The serial number is 61209SA,
processed on Factory Order #12194 and shipped to Jerry's Gun
Shop on Sep. 30, 1971 in Brookfield, IL. "The Post - War
Colt Single - Action Army 1955 - 1975" by Don Wilkerson,
page 139, shows that Dennis Kies only engraved a total of eleven
second generation Colt SAA's and only one
of them was this "C" coverage 4-3/4" 45LC.
Those of you who collect Colts know the significance of possessing
a piece such as this. Don Wilkerson set high standards on the
information that we dealer/collectors rely on so much today.
This information - FOUND ONLY IN HIS
BOOKS - better equips us to do indepth research and
effectively describe the Colt Single Action's that seldom become
available to the new generation of collectors or the well established
collector. If you are realistic about collecting rare items,
this is for you............$ SOLD
THIRD GENERATION COLT SINGLE ACTION

COLT P-1941-This new in the box Colt
4-3/4" 44-40, serial # S04256A, is fully engraved with Titanium
Gold plating finish and ready for you to take to the Cowboy Range.
The Ti-Gold finish is harder than the Glock finish. Check out
Ti-Gold website http://www.tigold.com/ and research it for yourself.
A few years ago, I had 2 Colt SAA's engraved, this 44-40 and
a 2nd Generation 45. I shoot the 45 at our local Cowboy Action
matches. I have never shot the 44-40. It was engraved by Jerry
Harper who is an accomplished Cowboy Shooter himself. You can
shoot this and clean it up and no one will ever be able to tell
it has ever been shot. The action is smooth as glass, don't worry
about putting a cylinder ring on the cylinder because the finish
is so hard that you would have to get a diamond to cut it....
and it better be a hard one!!! The ultimate gun with the ultimate
finish. ...........................$2,699.00

COLT CONSECUTIVE NUMBERED SET, P-1850,
5-1/2" B&CC 45LC - SPECIAL EDITION
- 125th ANNIVERSARY OF THE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY. SERIAL NUMBERS SA74114
& SA74115. These were introduced
at the SHOTSHOW in Las Vegas, NV in 1997 to celebrate the 125th
Anniversary of the legendary Colt Single Action Army Revolver.
The SAA was introduced in 1872. It turned 125 years old in 1997.
There were to be 250 made but I do not think that they reached
the goal. The finish is the Colt Oven Blue with and Case Hardening
process that was done by contract to Doug Turnbull. Everyone
is familiar with his excellent quality work and you will appreciate
the fine craftsmanship he put into these "old Colts".
The medallion in the grips is a special one made just for this
series of Colt SAA's. The serial number range began with SA74001
which was retained by the factory. .........................................................................................................
