Factory Class “D” Engraved Colt Single Action

Army Revolver with Case - Serial no. SA28114, 45

cal., 7 1/2 inch round bbl., nickel finish, walnut grips.

Manufactured in 1979. The revolver features the elaborate Colt

factory type “D” engraving which covers virtually every surface.

The master scroll engraving covers the barrel and ejector housing,

including the blade front sight. Every major part, except for the

hammer, trigger and front grip strap, shows this fine pattern; going around the full

circumference of the unfluted cylinder, down into the lower parts of the frame near

the cylinder pin latch, around the recoil shield and crossing the loading gate. The

revolver has standard Colt barrel and frame markings with the cylinder and grip straps

numbered to the gun. The trigger guard is marked with the Colt triangle proof and “K” on the left side

with “D” on the right. Fitted with a smooth grip featuring silver Rampant Colt medallions at the top. With a

brown leatherette Colt presentation case.

CONDITION: Excellent. The revolver retains 99% plus original nickel finish showing some frost on the

hammer. The grips are excellent with a few light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The case is good

with some loss of the leatherette covering and worn lining.

Estimate: 3500 - 4750
