z Sold Colt SAA .38 Special with Right Hand Cross Draw Holster

Anyone who lived through the decades of the ‘50s like I did and had a TV remembers westerns. In the holster of each one of those TV stars was a Colt SAA Peacemaker. No wonder  every TV watching kid focused on the Colt SAA revolver almost totally to the exclusion of every other Old West handgun. No wonder also that keen minds at Colt saw sales opportunities, and in 1956 reintroduced the SAA. and this one was one of those. There were virtually no changes in the model from the last ones made circa 1940. Instead of taking up where serial numbers left off 15 years before they started again plus added an SA suffix as in 8964SA. The initial chambering offered was .45 Colt, but in the latter half of the 20th century gun buyers’ tastes in calibers had changed. Later in 1956 .38 Special became a standard Peacemaker caliber. Interestingly, in 1st Generation production, only 25 had been made as .38 S&W Specials with another 82 made as .38 Colt Specials. The mechanics on this one is as good as the day it left the factory.
