RARE .38 COLT PRE WAR SAA REVOLVER
SERIAL 350661. BARREL 7 1/2". CALIBER .38 COLT. Letter states shipped as blue to Buffalo Wholesale Hardware Buffalo NY December 24, 1927 in one gun shipment. One of the harder to find cartridges as it was also chambered for the Model 1877, a much smaller gun as well as the swing out Army Navy series so very few were ordered in the Single Action. Standard blue and case finish and now sporting silver medallion two piece ivory grips. Condition. Very fine. Barrel and ejector housing retain at least 95% blue with light wear at muzzle and minor thinning and handling. Cylinder has some circumference rings and high edge wear. Straps are tinning but both still retain at least 75% finish. Hammer and frame retain about 75% case color with some fading. Grips are excellent. Strong rifling with bright grooves. Action is tight.
