Antique Colt Single Action Army First Generation Revolver – .41 Colt – Functional

Offered here is an original First Generation Colt Single Action Army chambered in .41 Colt, a desirable antique frontier revolver manufactured prior to 1899 and therefore qualifying as an antique firearm under federal law. This example remains fully functional and displays the honest wear expected of a working frontier revolver.

The revolver retains its original 4¾-inch barrel (based on the photos) chambered in the classic .41 Colt cartridge. The barrel markings remain legible, including the Hartford address and caliber designation. The frame shows the correct three-line patent dates with the Colt Rampant Colt trademark, and it is fitted with period hard rubber grips featuring the molded Colt pony.

The metal exhibits an attractive gray-brown patina from decades of honest use, with scattered freckling and handling marks throughout. The cylinder indexes correctly, and the revolver remains mechanically functional. The grips are solid with minor edge wear and age-related handling marks.

Originally introduced in 1873, the Colt Single Action Army became one of the most iconic revolvers of the American frontier. Examples chambered in .41 Colt are encountered far less frequently than the standard .45 Colt models and have developed a strong following among Colt and Old West collectors.
