In the box is a colt manual and warranty cardour assessment: production of single action army revolvers was halted at the outset of world war ii to free up machines and manpower for filling wartime orders. After the war, colt decided not to bring the iconic revolver back into production as it was seen as obsolete. The advent of swing-out cylinder revolvers and reliable semi-automatic pistols, they thought, meant that there was no place in the market for the antiquated single action revolver. Then, with the advent of television and western programs such as hopalong cassidy, the lone ranger, the cisco kid, and the gene autry show, american interest in the guns that won the west was reborn. In 1956, colt reintroduced the single action army, this new production run now referred to as the 2nd generation saas. this is an example from 1959, fairly early 2nd generation production. It has a 7 1/2" barrel and is chambered for the . 44 special cartridge. The revolver is in fine-excellent condition, retaining 97% original metal finish with all matching numbered parts. It appears to have spent more time in its included original box than out, retaining a great bore and strong mechanics. With its high condition, desirable chambering, and original box, this will make a fine addition to any collection and should still prove to be a good shooter. Please see our photos and good luck!
