Antique Factory Original Lettered & Book Documented Matching pair of Colt 1873 SAA Single Action Army Revolvers in .41 Long Colt Shipped Nov. 5, 1894.

This extremely rare matching "brother" pair of .41 Colt Single Action Army revolvers has been together since 1894, with a Colt historian factory archive letter showing they shipped together to Simmons Hardware Co. in St. Louis, Missouri on November 5, 1894. To make things even more impressive these revolvers are documented, as a pair, on page 236 of the "Colt Peacemaker Encyclopedia" 2nd volume by Keith Cochrane. Both are in beautiful shape, with flawless mechanics and clean steel; a once-in-a-lifetime find. Being pre-1898 antiques.

Both are incredibly well cared for. Mechanically excellent with all 4 distinct Colt clicks through the 5 hammer positions. They are true to factory spec, with original .41 colt chambering, 4 3/4" barrels showing strong, defined rifling, original grips, and remains of original blued finish in protected areas and case hardening colours on the hammers.

I would love for this pair of twins that has been together for over 130 years to stay that way in the hands of an owner that will see the historical, collectible, and asthetic value of preserving this history.

Comes with factory letter, .41 caliber ammo belt, and box of cowboy action .41 Colt ammo by Rustywood Trading Co.
