Description
This exceptional matched pair of Colt Single Action Army revolvers pays direct homage to one of the most legendary enterprises of the American West: Russell, Majors & Waddell, founders and operators of the Pony Express.
Finished in a striking high-polish nickel with period-correct contours, these revolvers capture the visual drama and romantic weight of mid-19th-century frontier expansion. The long barrels, classic SAA profiles, and crisp Colt markings evoke the tools carried during an era when speed, reliability, and grit defined survival across thousands of miles of untamed territory.
Chambered in .45 Colt, both revolvers remain true to the cartridge that helped define the Single Action Army’s legacy. The fit, finish, and overall presentation speak to careful attention to detail, from the mirror-like metalwork to the elegantly styled grips bearing Colt medallions. As a pair, the revolvers are properly matched in configuration, finish, and condition, reinforcing their intended status as a unified historical set rather than two individual examples.
Housed in a fitted presentation case with accompanying cylinders, this duo transcends function and enters the realm of historical art. It is not simply a matched pair of revolvers, but a tangible tribute to the men, risks, and ambition that helped knit the American frontier together at full gallop.
Offered as a complete set, these Russell, Majors, & Waddell Pony Express Colt SAAs represent a rare opportunity to acquire a visually arresting and historically resonant centerpiece, equally at home in an advanced Colt collection, a Western Americana display, or a museum-grade firearms gallery.
