Description
This exceptional Presentation Model Peacemaker SAA Revolver set in .45 Colt—Serial Nos. PE301-E and PE301-W—pay homage to the trailblazing legacy of William Hepburn Russell, Alexander Majors, and William Bradford Waddell, founders of the renowned Pony Express. These revolvers, with their 7 1/2-inch barrels and distinctive presentation markings, are not just firearms but a direct link to a significant chapter in history. Their complete nickel finishes embody classic elegance and historical reverence, connecting you to the past in a tangible way.
Each revolver, a testament to the rich history of the Pony Express, comes with two-piece walnut grips adorned with iconic Colt medallions and three unique cylinders. These third-generation revolvers, part of a limited production of only 1,004 in 1966, offer collectors a rare and exclusive opportunity to own a piece of history.
The set is presented in an original glass-fronted display case with a rich red cloth-fitted interior, providing an elegant showcase for the revolvers and cylinders. While the case exhibits minor wear on the exterior, both revolvers remain in near-pristine condition. Gun 1 (PE301-E) and Gun 2 (PE301-W) retain nearly all nickel finish, with bright, near-excellent bores. Minor imperfections, such as a giant chip on Gun 1’s left grip panel toe and a small dent and chip on Gun 2’s grip panel butt, are a testament to their authenticity and storied craftsmanship.
