Our Assessment:Colt's Model 1873, the Single Action Army, is the "gun that won the west", perhaps the most iconic handgun of all time. For nearly 150 years, the gun has been produced in a variety of configurations, finishes and calibers. This revolver is the absolute closest to a Colt you can get without a pony on the side. This USFA is the Plinker model, with a frame and hammer designed for use with rimfire cartridges. It has a blue and case color finish. The revolver is equipped with cylinders for both .22LR and .22 Magnum, making it suitable for both pinking and some smaller game. That is assuming that you're going to shoot it! This revolver is in absolutely excellent condition, appearing to have spent more time in its serial-matching USFA box and factory packaging than out. This gorgeous revolver will make a great addition to any collection. Please see our photos and good luck!
