Antique Colt Single Action Army – .38 WCF, 4.75” Barrel, Black Powder Frame, 1st Gen
This authentic Colt Single Action Army revolver is a classic First Generation black powder frame model, chambered in .38 WCF (.38-40 Winchester). Featuring a 4.75-inch barrel and the distinctive “three-line” patent date markings on the left side of the frame, this revolver is a true piece of American firearms history.
Dating to the late 19th century, this Colt retains its original finish with a well-worn patina consistent with its age. The iconic black hard rubber grips with Colt’s rampant horse logo are intact and show honest wear, contributing to the revolver’s historic character. The barrel is clearly marked “.38 W.C.F.” and the frame features the tell-tale screw above the trigger guard, confirming its black powder frame heritage.
Mechanically, the revolver cycles and locks up.Whether you're a collector of Old West firearms or looking for a genuine example of Colt’s frontier-era sidearms, this revolver is a valuable addition with strong historical appeal.
