The interior of each panel has "577" hand-scribed. The grips have no notable wear or damage, only light handling marks. The checkering is well defined with good detail in the colts and eagles. There are no chips or cracks. Overall, the grips are in Excellent condition.

Finish Originality: Original, numbered parts match. Replaced mainspring.
Bore Condition: The bore is mostly bright and the rifling is sharp. There is no erosion in the bore, just a little stubborn fouling. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 9+/10.
Overall Condition: This revolver retains about 94% of its metal finish. There are some scattered minor nicks, scuffs and small scratches, most on the cylinder and most notable on the topstrap at the rear sight notch. There is some finish loss at the front sight and on the recoil shield. Notably, there is an alpha-numeric hand-scribed on the butt, we are not certain the significance of this marking. The action shows operational wear. The screw heads are sharp. The markings are clear. Overall, this revolver is in Very Good-Fine condition.
Mechanics: The cylinder tends to over-rotate when operated briskly. The hammer will fall from the half-cock position when the trigger is pressed. Action work appears to have been performed with a replaced mainspring. We did not fire this handgun. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance requirements.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This revolver comes in a Colt Peacemaker Centennial display case.
Our Assessment: The Single Action Army, as we know it, began life as the U.S. government service revolver (for trials) of 1872. The gun was soon adopted as the standard military service revolver until 1892. The Colt Single Action Army has been offered in over 30 different calibers and various barrel lengths. Its overall appearance has remained consistent since 1873. Colt has discontinued its production twice, but brought it back due to popular demand. The revolver was popular with ranchers, lawmen, and outlaws alike, but current models are mostly bought by collectors and reenactors. Its design has influenced the production of numerous other models from other companies.
Here is a true Colt Peacemaker revolver, built by the same company that brought us this gun over 100 years ago. It is the "Frontier Six-Shooter", chambered for the .44-40 Winchester cartridge. The revolver has a lot of features calling back to the original including a screw-secured cylinder pin, "V"-notch rear sight, faux-etched panel barrel marking, and 1st Gen-style serial placement. This example appears to have seen some use and action work, though it needs a little more work on the timing and half-cock sear engagement. Whether a Single Action Collector, Handgun Collector, Colt Collector or Commemorative Collector – this revolver belongs in your gun room. Please see our photos and good luck!
